Hilton Head Airport (KHXD) sits on Hilton Head Island in South Carolina. Field elevation is 19.3 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 03/21, which is 5,000 ft long. The tower is open daily from 0700 to 2100. One ILS approach is published for runway 21. Pattern altitude is not published, so use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Signature Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. The airport is close to sea level, so density altitude is usually not the main issue. Traffic can still be busy because of the island location and the towered environment. Published remarks call out birds and deer in the area. Noise abatement procedures are also in effect. Contact operations for the current guidance before arrival. There is also a displaced threshold obstacle note for runway 21, plus EMAS at both runway ends. The runway lighting and PAPI are useful for night work. The PAPI on runway 03 is unusable beyond 7 degrees left of centerline. Check the current Chart Supplement for any current restrictions before flying in, especially if you are planning an unscheduled air carrier arrival.
