MT PLEASANT RGNL-FAISON FLD is in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. Field elevation is 11.6 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 17/35, which is 3,700 ft long. There is no control tower. Pattern altitude is 988 ft AGL, which is 999.6 ft MSL.

No ILS approaches are published here. For IFR planning, use the current FAA Chart Supplement and the Charleston Approach frequencies published for the field. Charleston County Aviation Authority is on the field. It carries AVGAS 100LL and Jet A. Call ahead at (843) 884-8837 if you need parking coordination or if your wingspan is over 38 ft. The front line of the FBO ramp and the front taxilane in front of the terminal are restricted to aircraft under that span limit.

A few operational notes matter here. PAPI lighting is available for runways 17 and 35. Medium intensity runway lighting is controlled by the CTAF. The remarks also call out deer and birds in the area. There are two 2,000 ft towers about 4 to 6 miles east of the airport. That is worth keeping in mind on departure and arrival. This is a low-elevation coastal field. The main issues are traffic awareness, obstacle awareness and staying sharp on pattern work.
