Southern Wake Rgnl is in Raleigh, North Carolina. The field elevation is 243 ft MSL. It has one runway, 16/34, which is 4,005 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.7. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at 1,243 ft MSL based on the field elevation, but verify before you fly. The published remarks matter here. Runway 16 has centerline markings only. Runway 34 also has centerline markings only. There are no threshold lights. Night landings are not recommended. Low intensity runway lights are activated on CTAF from dusk to 2400 hours. There is no CTAF prior to dusk.
The airport sits in a busy Raleigh area with rising terrain in all quadrants. Deer are also reported on and near the field. The tower is 500 ft AGL and 826 ft MSL, about 1.75 NM northwest of the airport. For clearance delivery, contact Raleigh Approach at 919-380-3144.
