Lake Norman Airpark (14A) is a private residential fly-in community at Mooresville, North Carolina, built around a single paved runway used by resident aircraft owners. Sited close to the shores of Lake Norman, it is one of several similarly named airpark communities in the area and is not open to unannounced arrivals.
Lake Norman Airpark is a private airpark community at Mooresville, North Carolina, laid out around a single lit hard-surfaced runway. Like many such developments it combines homes with private hangars directly on the airfield, and it is used almost exclusively by resident owners and their guests rather than transient traffic, which makes it a distinctive stop for a simulator pilot wanting to fly into a genuine American fly-in community.
The airpark lies near Lake Norman in Mooresville, North Carolina, in what is an uncontrolled aerodrome environment with no air traffic control service. There is a separate, unrelated airpark of similar name and type, Long Island Airport (NC26), also associated with the wider Lake Norman Airpark community brand, situated elsewhere on the lake; pilots should be careful not to confuse the two fields when planning a route in the area (longislandairport.org).
The field has a single physical runway, 14/32, hard-surfaced and lit. The published length differs slightly by direction, 3141 feet on runway 32 and 2954 feet on runway 14, which may reflect differing declared distances or a displaced threshold; there is no ILS or other instrument approach available.
No ATC service is provided at the airpark, and the available data lists no instrument approach procedures, consistent with its status as a small private airfield.
Lake Norman itself is the dominant visual landmark for locating the airpark from the air. Pilots operating at low level in the vicinity should be alert for powerlines, on both wooden poles and tall metal towers, that are present in the area between Lake Norman Airpark and the nearby Long Island Airpark (NC26) and which are not always shown on sectional charts or marked with obstruction balls; a collision between a low-flying aircraft and such powerlines has previously occurred in this stretch (longislandairport.org).
Lake Norman Airpark functions as a private residential airpark community, with homes and hangars built around the runway for resident aircraft owners. As a private field, prior permission is required before any visit, and it should not be treated as a field open to casual transient traffic.
