Twin City Airport is in Loris, South Carolina. The field elevation is 99.3 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 08/26 is 3,694 ft long with asphalt pavement. There is no control tower, so use CTAF 122.9 and stay sharp on the radio. No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
This is a VFR-only airport. The published remarks call out several things that matter on short final. Runway 08 has a displaced threshold. The straight-in path to 08 has nearby roadway and tree obstructions. There is also a 30-foot power line south of the runway. Birds are reported on and near the airport, so keep a close scan on departure and in the pattern. Clearance delivery is handled by Myrtle Beach Approach when it is open. If approach is closed, contact Jacksonville ARTCC. No on-field FBOs are listed, so verify services with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before you go.
