Beaufort Exec is in Beaufort, South Carolina. The field elevation is 9 ft MSL. It has one runway, 07/25, which is 3,434 ft long. There is no control tower. Pattern altitude is not published, so light piston pilots should plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
No ILS approaches are published here. That makes the current weather and your own arrival planning more important, especially if you are coming in at night or in lower visibility. Beaufort Approach handles clearance delivery by phone at 843-228-6298. When approach is closed, contact Jacksonville ARTCC at 904-845-1592. The airport uses CTAF 122.7 and UNICOM 122.7.
Beaufort County Airport is the on-field FBO. It carries 100LL and Jet A with Prist. Fuel with 24-hour credit card service is available. The runway lights on 07/25 are medium intensity. They are preset to low intensity. Use the common traffic advisory frequency to increase them. Expect wildlife on or near the airport. Deer, seagulls and geese are reported in the area. There are also 100 ft power lines 2,400 ft southwest of the approach end of runway 7, so keep that in mind on the 07 side.
