Bamberg County Airport (99N) sits in Bamberg, South Carolina. The field elevation is 231 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 05/23 is 3,603 ft long with asphalt pavement. There is no control tower. Use CTAF 122.8 for local traffic. Columbia Approach handles radar and clearance support on 124.15 and 338.2. No ILS approaches are published here. Plan this field as a VFR airport only.

The pattern altitude is not published. For light piston work, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The runway lighting is medium intensity on 05/23. A PAPI is active on both runway ends. That helps on night or marginal VFR arrivals. The published remarks also say VFR operations only. That is the main operating limit to keep in mind.

There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival if you need services. For first-time arrivals, the key items are the single runway layout, the lack of an ILS and the need to stay on CTAF with Columbia Approach coordination as needed. Check the current Chart Supplement for any updates before you go.
