This is a VFR-only field. Prior coordination is required before arrival.

Expect a tight environment. Trees and buildings sit close to the runway. The published remarks also call out an obstruction near runway 09 that exceeds a 45 degree slope. The runway is soft and wet in spring. Wind shear and turbulence can be significant when wind exceeds 10 knots. Wildlife is also a factor here.
