Greenville Downtown Airport sits in Greenville, South Carolina. Field elevation is 1,048 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is 01/19 at 5,393 ft. Runway 10/28 is 4,000 ft. The tower is open 0700-2200. When the tower is closed, lighting is controlled from the CTAF frequency. One ILS is published for runway 01.

Pattern altitude is 800 ft AGL for light aircraft. That is 1,848 ft MSL. Heavy aircraft use 1,000 ft AGL. Vantage Aviation, formerly Greenville Jet Center, is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Noise abatement procedures are in effect. Call the airport manager before arrival if you need the current guidance.

There are a few operational items to brief before you go. Runway 28 has an obstacle clearance slope issue at the displaced threshold. Runway 10 has one too. Taxiways C and D have restrictions when aircraft over 12,500 lb are operating on runway 10/28. Aircraft inbound from the south-southwest or on the ILS runway 01 approach should watch for traffic near Donaldson Field. This is a busy local area with jet and conventional traffic. If you are new to the field, get the current Chart Supplement and review the lighting setup before a night arrival.
