About Florence Regional Airport
Overview
Florence Regional Airport serves the Florence metropolitan area in South Carolina, providing regional aviation services for general aviation and commercial traffic. Located at an elevation of 146 ft MSL, the airport features two asphalt runways capable of handling a variety of aircraft operations. Its strategic positioning in the southeastern United States offers important transportation infrastructure for the region.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions, with 74.7% of observed weather patterns supporting clear flying. Temperature ranges from -9°C to 35°C indicate significant seasonal variation, while prevailing northerly winds average 7.1 knots with occasional calm periods at 20.5%. Visibility typically remains excellent, averaging 9 statute miles, with only 2.6% of observations reporting visibility below 3 miles.
Notable Features
Both runways at Florence Regional provide substantial length, with Runway 01/19 measuring 5,999 feet and Runway 09/27 extending to 6,499 feet. The airport demonstrates consistent wind conditions, with both runways experiencing 100% favorable wind alignments. The terrain surrounding the airport appears relatively flat, typical of the coastal plain region of South Carolina.
Approach Considerations
Wind conditions strongly favor both primary runways, with minimal average crosswind components (3.8 knots for 01/19 and 5 knots for 09/27). November, January, and October represent the most consistently favorable VFR flying months. Pilots should anticipate potential reduced visibility during the 2.1% of observations reporting fog conditions, particularly during seasonal transitions.
