Facilities and aircraft
[edit]Columbia County Airport covers an area of 260 acres (110 ha) at an elevation of 198 feet (60 m) above mean sea level. It has one asphalt paved runway designated 3/21 which measures 5,350 by 100 feet (1,631 x 30 m).[1]
Final approach for runway 21 is directly over a golf course immediately to the north, and pilots should take caution on arrival and departure to avoid golfers. There has been at least one incident of a golfer intentionally hitting a landing aircraft with a golf ball. Departure path for runway 3 takes the pilot over homes. Pilots should be mindful of noise, especially at night. There is a police shooting range approximately 1 mile to the east, so gunshot sounds are not uncommon.
For the 12-month period ending June 29, 2007, the airport had 19,200 aircraft operations, an average of 52 per day: 78% general aviation, 21% air taxi and 1% military. At that time there were 32 aircraft based at this airport: 81% single-engine, 16% multi-engine and 3% jet.[1]
Richmor Aviation operates out of the Columbia County Airport as the FBO providing fuel, tie-down, hangar, aircraft management, charter & maintenance.
