South Oaks Aerodrome sits in Winterville, North Carolina. The field elevation is 50 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 07/25 is 1,850 ft of turf, so this is a short-field stop for light aircraft only. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. This is a daylight-use-only field. That matters here. Plan your arrival and departure with enough light to handle the turf surface and the nearby obstacles.

Published remarks call out a road near the Runway 25 threshold. They also note a driveway close to that end. Runway 07 has a drop-off near the threshold area. The runway is marked with yellow cones. Expect a private-use, VFR-only environment. Open shelters are available on the field. For clearance delivery, contact Washington ARTCC at 703-771-3587. There are no on-field FBOs listed, so verify fuel and services with the airport operator or the field directly before you go.

Frequently asked questions

What is the runway length at South Oaks Aerodrome (05N)?

05N has one runway. Runway 07/25 is 1,850 ft long and surfaced with turf. That makes runway performance planning important, especially if you are operating a heavier piston airplane.

Is South Oaks Aerodrome towered or uncontrolled?

It is not towered. Use CTAF 122.8 for self-announced traffic and coordinate on the same frequency if UNICOM is being used.

Does 05N have any ILS approaches?

No ILS approaches are published for South Oaks Aerodrome. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement and your current approach data before planning IFR use.

What is the pattern altitude at 05N?

Pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement shows a different procedure.

Is South Oaks Aerodrome daylight only?

Yes. The published remarks say daylight use only. Plan to arrive and depart in daylight and verify current field status before you launch.

Which runway hazards should I know about at 05N?

Runway 25 has a road roughly 150 ft from the threshold on both sides of the centerline. It also has a driveway close to the threshold area. Runway 07 has a drop-off near the threshold area on both sides of the centerline.

Are there any FBOs on the field at South Oaks Aerodrome?

No on-field FBOs are listed in the facts. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival, or call the field on CTAF or UNICOM for current service availability.

Can I get clearance delivery help from the field?

The published remarks say to contact Washington ARTCC at 703-771-3587 for clearance delivery. If you are filing IFR, confirm the latest procedure with ATC before departure.
