RWY 16

Branhams is in Darlington, South Carolina. Field elevation is 166 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 16/34 is 3,200 ft of turf, which is the longest runway on the field. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston planning unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The field is VFR only. All turns must be made west of the airport. Runway 16 is right traffic only. That matters here because the published remarks also call out close-in houses and trees near both ends. Runway 34 has a dirt road in the runway protection zone at the threshold. The runway surface is also slightly bumpy in some areas.

The airport rotating beacon is out of service indefinitely. Visual approach slope indicators are activated for runways 16 and 34. Low intensity runway lights are controlled by CTAF. No on-field FBOs are listed. Airport attendance is on call. For clearance delivery, contact Florence Approach. When approach is closed, contact Jacksonville ARTCC. If you are planning a first visit, review the current Chart Supplement before departure and expect a quiet turf field with some operational constraints.
