Obstacles
There are numerous antennas in the Jupiter area.  Of special note is a tall, thin antenna 4 miles northeast of the field.  It stands 1038 feet MSL and it is hard to see unless you are looking for it.

Florida is home to some of the most active flight schools in the country.  Some areas are so congested that ATC will not provide flight following through the area and give the advice "Numerous targets ahead" before dropping you.  'See and avoid' takes on a new meaning to pilots not familiar with Florida flying.  Keep your eyes outside the airplane!
