6. CUSTOMS AND AGRICULTURE - Shaw (KSSC) is not a Port
of Entry and will only provide services for aircraft directly
supporting 20 FW or 9 AF missions. Customs inspections are
performed by 20 SFS. Agriculture inspections are coordinated
with USDA located in Columbia. Aircraft must coordinate at least
72 hours prior. Aircraft that arrive early and/or without prior

7. AIR TRAFFIC SERVICES - All aircraft must contact Shaw
(KSSC) Approach prior to entering the outer area (5-10 NM from
1500’ to 4200’ MSL) or surface area (out to 5 NM from surface to
4200’ MSL) for sequencing into Class C Airspace. When Shaw
(KSSC) RAPCON is closed, contact Shaw (KSSC) Tower prior to
entering Class D Airspace (4.4 NM radius, surface to 2700' MSL).
20 FW aircraft have priority. Transient aircraft may be denied
multiple approaches. Tower overhead pattern altitude 2000’
MSL, direction of break at tower’s discretion. SFOs are not
authorized for transient aircraft. Retain drag chutes to parking.
Barriers are normally configured to provide 2 departure end
barriers on each active runway. Other configurations must be
requested and/or prior coordinated. See IFR Supplement for
barrier specifications. Transient aircraft contact Ground prior to
engine start. Expect a 5 minute delay when departing Rwy 22 if
R6002 is active. CAUTION - Sumter (KSMS) is located 3 NM E of
Shaw (KSSC).
