St Simons Island (KSSI) has 2 runways. The longest is Runway 04/22 at 5,584 ft by 100 ft. It is asphalt. Runway 16/34 is 3,313 ft by 75 ft. It is also asphalt. No ILS runway ends are published for this field.

This is a non-towered airport. Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard light-piston pattern practice unless local procedures or ATC instructions say otherwise. Noise abatement matters here. The area southeast and south-southwest of Runway 16/34 is extremely noise sensitive. For helicopter traffic, the preferred noise-abatement arrival is a straight-in to Runway 34 followed by a mid-field turn to landing. Wheeled helicopters are expected to ground taxi to final parking.

Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston traffic, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless local procedures or ATC say otherwise. KSSI is non-towered, so pilots self-announce and sequence themselves in the pattern.

Watch the noise-sensitive area southeast and south-southwest of Runway 16/34. That area is extremely noise sensitive. Helicopter traffic has a preferred noise-abatement arrival to Runway 34, then a mid-field turn to landing. Wheeled helicopters ground taxi to final parking.

Every end, one page

Each runway end has its own page with wind component, traffic pattern geometry and ILS for that specific direction.
