A few local items matter here. The Chart Supplement notes military and Charleston traffic in the vicinity, so keep your scan sharp on arrival and departure. Wildlife is also reported on and near the airport, with more activity at dusk and dawn. Runway 05/23 has medium intensity lights that are activated by CTAF. For clearance delivery, contact Charleston Approach at 843-414-2832. This is a low-elevation field with a single 5,001 ft runway, so it is straightforward for most light aircraft.
