Aiken Rgnl is in Aiken, South Carolina. The field elevation is 528.5 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is 07/25 at 5,500 ft. The other runway is 01/19 at 3,800 ft. There is no control tower, so plan for CTAF traffic and self-announced position calls. Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston traffic, use 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
There is one ILS approach at KAIK. It serves runway 07. The airport also has approach lighting on runway 25. Medium intensity runway lights are on 07/25 and are controlled on CTAF. The PAPI on 07 and 25 operates continuously. That helps after sunset. You still need to verify current procedures before you go.
Aiken Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. For clearance delivery, the published remarks say to contact Augusta Approach if you cannot reach flight service on the listed frequency. If Augusta Approach is closed, use Columbia Approach. That matters for IFR planning here. First-time visitors should also expect a non-towered environment with Augusta-area approach control nearby. Stay sharp on radio work and sequencing.
