Savannah/Hilton Head Intl is in Savannah, Georgia. Field elevation is 50.2 ft MSL. The airport has two runways. The longest is 9,351 ft on runway 10/28. Tower service is available from 0600 to 0000. Two ILS approaches are published. They serve runway ends 01 and 10.

Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. On the field, Signature Aviation and Sheltair both carry 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. If you are planning a first stop here, pay attention to the terminal ramp rules. Prior permission is required for general aviation aircraft on the aircraft terminal ramp. International GA arrivals are closed except with 24-hour prior permission. Call U.S. Customs and the servicing FBO before you go if that applies to your trip.

This is a busy Class C field with airline traffic, military activity and wildlife considerations. Birds and deer are reported on and near the airport. Wildlife is most active around sunrise and sunset. The tower also notes that aircraft and vehicles on the south end of taxiway A and the east end of taxiway E are not visible from the tower. Runway 10 has LED approach lighting with nonstandard spacing. If you are flying EFVS, brief that before arrival.
