No, the homebuilt area would be perfect. It's almost certainly on grass. You will need your own ground engaging tie downs. I use the corkscrew type like dog owners use. They didn't fare vary well in the tornado a few years ago for many aircraft but I think most people still use them. The ground is pretty soft and sandy.

I had already studied the notam in detail. It stated bring your own tie downs but it did not say if you needed to supply your own screw in spikes also or if they string cables to attach your tie downs to. I was thinking of parking in the homebuilt area any reason why you would recommend otherwise?

I'm going Wednesday and will be parking in GA Camping on the grass until we leave on Saturday. I think most parking is off the hard surfaces. I've gone several years now in my Cessna. This will be the first time in the IV-P. We take plywood squares for the tires so they don't sink into the dirt. Make sure you study the Notam before you go, including the part about a sign for your window to tell ground handlers where you want to go.

Tom, I don't have experience with parking but the NOTAM says bring your own tie downs. If you look up the tie down review in Aviation consumer from the last SNF you will be well informed.

Folks
I am planning to travel to sun n fun and arrive early sat morning and leave after 6pm. For those veterans of Lakeland what are your recomendations with respect to parking? Mine is an lnc2 and my concern is prop strike on turf. Also, what kind of tie down provisions exist in the likely parking locations?
Ps so far wx is looking like IFR arrival early sat morning. Any practical advice on getting into Lal outside of the notam would be appreciated
Thanks
Tom
