No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The published remarks matter here. Runway 22 has REILs, PAPI and medium intensity lighting controlled by CTAF. Runway 04 has medium intensity lighting as well. The field also has noted obstructions near both thresholds. Expect a tree and ditch near runway 04. Expect brush and a slope with brush near runway 22.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Bring your own ropes. Wildlife is also noted in the runway area, so keep a sharp scan on taxi, takeoff and landing. For clearance delivery, contact Seattle ARTCC at 253-351-3694. If you need current operational details, check the current FAA Chart Supplement or call the airport operator directly before departure.
