Important Info:

Conway Airport information for the fly-in:

(Note: All frequencies and other aviation statements are subject to change. Please review current ATC information before flight.)

Please monitor Unicom 122.7 (if you have a radio) as we will have advisories on that channel.

Suggested pattern altitude: 1000 AGL for General Aviation and 500 foot for Ultralights.

Reminder: Conway’s runway is outside of MYR’s Class C airspace but it is fairly close to the outer ring so we offer the following information: If you are outside of MYR’s inner ring but inside their outer ring, your altitude should remain under 1200 feet in order to stay out of the Class C airspace.  Anyone inside of MYR’s inner ring at any altitude must have a mode C transponder, radio, have ADSB Out, and be communicating with ATC – ultralight’s should avoid that inner ring area of course!
