SkyVector Lists FAA Data for Allendale County Airport Effective Jan. 22, 2026

SkyVector has added official Federal Aviation Administration data for Allendale County Airport (AQX), with the FAA information shown as effective Jan. 22, 2026 (FAA data effective 2026-01-22 0901Z). The online reference lists AQX’s identifier, location two miles southeast of Allendale, South Carolina, surveyed elevation at 161 feet MSL, coordinates, and a runway and operations summary used by aviators for flight planning.

The SkyVector page functions as a chart-supplement-style reference, pulling operational data from FAA publications and displaying the Chart Supplement effective date for users. Pilots and flight planners consulting the listing will find facility notes on airport lighting, windsock availability, and communications and other operational factors that influence arrival and departure decisions. Those details matter for small-scale operators, medical flights, agricultural aviation, and local businesses that rely on reliable short-haul air connections.

Accurate, published FAA data reduces planning uncertainty. For local pilots and visitors, the update confirms airport parameters and published facility notes that affect approaches, night operations, and radio procedures. For Allendale County emergency services and businesses, having AQX indexed and current on commonly used planning platforms simplifies coordination for medevac runs, airborne firefighting staging, and on-demand charter movements. SkyVector’s use of FAA Chart Supplement data also means that pilots cross-checking paper or official FAA sources will see consistent information on digital navigational tools.

From a policy and funding perspective, maintaining up-to-date FAA listings supports compliance with federal regulations and can factor into county-level planning. Accurate FAA references are often part of documentation used in grant applications and infrastructure planning. Local officials and airport managers can point to a current FAA effective date when discussing maintenance priorities, lighting upgrades, or communications investments that improve safety and expand utility for local aviation-dependent enterprises.

The listing also reflects broader trends in aviation navigation: small airports increasingly depend on digital charting services to communicate operational constraints and attract transient traffic. Consistency between FAA publications and platforms such as SkyVector helps reduce miscommunication and supports safe, efficient operations in rural regions.

Residents and local stakeholders should treat the SkyVector listing as a practical reference: pilots must verify current FAA publications and NOTAMs before flight, and county officials can use the effective Jan. 22, 2026 data point when planning operations or pursuing funding. Keeping AQX’s published information current helps protect safety, preserve air access, and maintain the airport’s role in Allendale County’s economic and emergency response network.
