Time Building in Florida — KFXE Fort Lauderdale
Florida is the #1 state in the US for time building — and My Flight Time at KFXE Fort Lauderdale is the highest-volume, lowest-cost time building operation in Florida.
Why Florida Is the Best State in the US for Time Building
300+ VFR days per year. Florida loses fewer flying days to weather than almost anywhere else in the United States, which is why pilots fly in from across the country to time-build here.
Sea-level density altitude, flat terrain, and a dense network of towered and uncontrolled airports make Florida ideal for cross-country time building at any experience level.
South Florida's airspace — Class B Miami, Class C Fort Lauderdale Hollywood (KFLL), Class D Fort Lauderdale Executive (KFXE), and dozens of nearby satellite fields — gives you real ATC and real traffic on every flight.
