There are a few things to brief before arrival. Runway 09 has a fence and a public road close to the approach end. Runway 27 has a displaced-threshold approach slope note. White PVC markers are placed every 200 feet on runways 18 and 36. PAPI is available on 09 and 27. Medium intensity runway lights are on 09/27 and are controlled by CTAF. Trees also block line of sight between some runway ends, so plan your taxi and runway checks with that in mind.
