San Salvador Intl (MYSM) is at Cockburn Town in the Bahamas. Field elevation is 24 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 10/28 is 8,000 ft of asphalt. The field is not towered, so plan on UNICOM coordination on 122.8. Use standard self-announce procedures.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless current published guidance says otherwise. The runway headings are magnetic. Runway 10 is 095°. Runway 28 is 275°.
There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Contact the airport operator or the field directly before arrival if you need handling, fuel, or ramp details. Published remarks note that foreign civil government landing fees and diplomatic clearance may be required. Customs and immigration are available daily from 1400 to 2200 Zulu. Other hours are available on request. That matters for international planning.
For first-time arrivals, the big items are simple. This is an uncontrolled island field with no published ILS. Build your arrival around current weather, daylight and the customs window. If you are coming in from outside the country, verify paperwork and clearance before departure. The field sits close to sea level, so density altitude is usually not the main issue. Coordination and paperwork are the bigger ones here.
