St Simons Island Airport (KSSI) sits on St Simons Island in Georgia. Field elevation is 18.9 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is 04/22 at 5,584 ft. There is no control tower. No ILS approaches are published. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Velocity Aviation, formerly Odyssey Aviation, is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Fixed base operator services are available on frequency 130.65. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.05.
This is a noise-sensitive airport. The residential area southeast and south-southwest of runway 16/34 is especially sensitive. Runway 22 is the preferred runway for light and variable winds or crosswinds. The published remarks also call out birds and wildlife in and around the airport. All VFR aircraft use the standard left-hand pattern. Arrivals and departures are requested to call 10 miles out with position and intentions on CTAF 123.05. Training flights are encouraged to use Brunswick Golden Isles Airport 7 NM northwest. Jekyll Island Airport is 4 NM south. It uses the same CTAF, so expect busy local traffic in the area.
