Sunrise Flight Academy is proud of our association with Polk State College’s Aerospace Program based at historic Lakeland-Linder Regional Airport.  The airport is internationally known as the home of the Sun-n-Fun Fly-In, an annual celebration of aviation and aircraft that takes place every spring.

​

Situated in the heart of Central Florida along the I-4 corridor, Lakeland-Linder Regional Airport is located on 1,700 acres with over 1-million square feet of hangar, maintenance and commercial space.

​

During World War II, Lakeland Army Air Field was home to a variety of squadrons of B-17’s, B-24’s, and P-51 Mustang fighter aircraft.  The airport is now owned and operated by the City of Lakeland, Florida.

​

The Lakeland VORTAC is on the airfield and all runways have high intensity runway lighting (HIRL) and P4L precision approach path indicator (PAPI) systems. Runway 9 is equipped with a Category I Instrument Landing system (ILS), a Medium Intensity Approach Light System with Runway Alignment Indicator (MALSR) and a published Cat I ILS precision instrument approach.

​

All other runways have published non-precision approaches. The FAA has also installed an Automatic Detection Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B) ground station at the airport.
