The Orlando Executive Airport (KORL) is located 7 nautical miles to the North of Orlando International. KORL is designated as the primary general aviation reliever facility to Orlando International Airport (Community 2016). An interesting fact is the airport manager for Orlando International Airport also manages KORL (Airnav 2016). Due to the fact that both airports are managed by the same entity I couldn’t find any news related to conflicts with KMCO and KORL. There is a caution statement in the Notice to Airmen (NOTAMs) for KORL that states, “VFR ACFT ARRIVING/DEPARTING EXECUTIVE ARPT EXERCISE CAUTION DUE TO SMALL AND HEAVY TURBO-JET ACFT TRANSITING ARPT TFC AREA 2000 FT AND ABOVE ON APCH TO ORLANDO INTL ARPT 5.6 MILES SOUTH”.

No geographic obstacles are highlighted on in the approach or departure areas for the KMCO runways on the sectional chart (Airnav
