Greenwood County Airport sits in Greenwood, South Carolina. Field elevation is 631.2 ft MSL. The airport has two runways. The longest is runway 09/27 at 5,001 ft. There is no control tower. No ILS approaches are published. Pattern altitude is not published, so a light piston pilot should plan for the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Aeronautical Services of Greenwood is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call the FBO directly at (864) 942-9634 before arrival for current services. Taxiway A runs parallel to runway 09/27. The published remarks also note dropoffs on both sides of the taxiway beyond the shoulder, so taxi with care.
Runway 09/27 has medium intensity lighting that is preset from dusk to 2300. After 2300, the lights on 09/27, the runway end identifier lights on 09 and 27, plus the omnidirectional approach lighting system on runway 27 are activated through the CTAF. The field is in the Greer approach area for IFR handling. If you need clearance delivery help, use the published contact numbers in the current Chart Supplement. For a first trip, the main things to watch are the taxiway edge dropoffs, the lighting procedure after dark and the lack of published ILS support.
