No ILS approaches are published here. Vintage Aircraft is on the field. It carries 100LL. Call (707) 938-2444 before you go if you need current ramp or service details. The published remarks matter here. Runway 07/25 sits a few feet above the north terrain with side slopes. Runway 17/35 is restricted. Prior permission is required. The field is day use only. Runway 07/25 also has no touch-and-go or training operations. Runway 25 calls for an early right turn after takeoff. Then a crosswind turn after 600 feet.

This is a low-elevation field in Sonoma Valley, so density altitude is usually not the same issue you get at mountain airports. The bigger pilot items are runway use, local procedures and getting the latest clearance details from Oakland ARTCC if needed. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement before departure for any updates.
