The pattern altitude is not published. For a light piston aircraft, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement or local procedure says otherwise. Salem Airpark has one on-field FBO, Salem Airpark. It carries 100LL. 100LL is also available 24 hours a day through self-serve credit card. The airport sits in a mixed-use area, so watch for deer, birds and other wildlife near the runway. A drag strip lies southeast of the field. It can look like airport pavement from the air.

Runway 10L/28R has nonstandard low-intensity lights that are controlled by CTAF. The pavement is restricted to aircraft under 8,000 lb maximum gross weight. Runway 10R/28L is turf. Check turf condition with the airport manager before you plan to use it. The published remarks also call out obstacle clearance issues near runway 28R. Verify current conditions before arrival, especially if you are planning a short-field or night operation.
