Lancaster County-Mc Whirter Fld sits in Lancaster, South Carolina. Field elevation is 485.9 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 06/24 is 6,004 ft long with concrete pavement. It is a non-towered field. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at about 1,486 ft MSL based on the listed field elevation.
No ILS approaches are published here. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.725. Charlotte Approach works the area on 120.05 and 307.8. Clearance delivery is handled through Charlotte Approach. The field has runway end identifier lights on 06 and 24. Medium intensity runway lights are pilot-controlled on CTAF. PAPI is on continuously for both runway ends.
Lancaster County Airport is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. For fuel after hours, call the field directly. Small aircraft must be tied down. Watch the runway 06 end. There is a 25 ft drop about 250 ft from the threshold. Deer are also reported on and near the airport. Aerial applicators are not permitted because of pavement conditions, so plan on standard GA use only.
