Medium intensity runway lights on 01/19 run from dusk to 2400 local. After 2400, you activate them on CTAF. The PAPI on 01 and 19 runs continuously.

There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Plan to verify fuel and services with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before arrival. Runway 06 has a published obstacle note. There is a tree on the approach path near the displaced threshold. The turf runway also has inground concrete pads marking the ends and edges. For a first-time arrival, the main things are the non-towered setup, the Atlanta Approach handoff and the runway 06 obstruction note.
