Major construction project underway as of 2019. New terminal building going in at mid-field, north side of runway. Will be very nice when completed. Currently the activity has minimal impact on airfield operations.
Yes, one of my hobbies is listening/logging these NDBs (yes, weird) and it is almost daily NDBs are going off the air. The other NDB at this airport, IY 417 has been having technical troubles since February 2019. I think it is off air now or has a very weak signal. Also it was logged in Finland Jan 2017 - 4374mi/7039km.
Another problem is spammers leaving loooong boring off topic diatribes on this site.
Thanks. We're probably going to be removing the navaid information soon, because it's too hard to keep up to date with VORs and NDBs being decommissioned so fast. I'll miss them.
Several planes in/out the day we visited, but good comms.
Rwy 14/32 has at least one taxiway bypass (south side) which helped us since we were taxiing from while another plane was taxiing to the rwy.
Two windsocks disagreed when we were leaving: one indicated rwy 21, the other indicated rwy 14 (unless the wind changed between when we started our taxi and when we got closer). It's pretty close to the coast so not unlikely winds shifted.
$20 landing fee is waived with a minimum fuel purchase (not sure how much). Trainer aircraft land with no fee but not sure if that still applies if you visit the FBO and/or park.
Please add many more charging ports/ electrical outlets, throughout the airport. Access to charging stations is very scarce, and then makes passengers agitated and argumentative with eachother. This is very important to update access to charging stations.
My CFI tried to scare me away from this airport because the runway is in poor condition. It really wasn't that bad. I'd say Sky King, Hobart and Orleans have worse runways in Indiana.
Really cool airport. Runway is the only well maintained section as the rest of the pad is in poor condition. you could taxi around on it as it wasn't super jagged. Good place to practice short field technique.
From the sky I was concerned about obstacles but after landing and taking off it is clear there are t really any on either end. Pattern altitude is higher than usual because of the hills/towers surrounding the field.
When I landed on 3/2/19 it appeared the new runway just northwest of the old field was not yet operational. It had lines and numbers painted but there was something yellow on the end of each runway which I assume was a canvas X that the wind had blown into a bunch. I landed at the original field no problem.
Took My multi engine rating With Jean and many other flights
I got most of my flight ratings at Rose Aviation. I also taught Flying with Jean for over a year there and logged over 1000 hours. Then I went to the Airlines On December 10, 1069

At KORL... Due to Class B ceiling above and catering to the executive jets, a regular joe can wait at the end of the runway or be sent on a cross country while in the pattern just to accommodate a biz jet that hasn't yet made the IAF. It wastes tons of time. Neither MCO or SFB are convenient for quick business trips.
One day I was cleared to land same time a student was right below me on instruments. Tower was not aware. Thanks for the guy behind me turning base.
