If you need after-hours fuel, call the number in the Chart Supplement before you go. The field also has a few operational points worth planning around. Runway 12 is the calm wind runway. PAPI on runway 21 is unusable beyond 7 NM because of terrain. PAPI on runway 30 is unusable beyond 3.5 NM because of terrain. Runway 03 has a 50:1 slope to the displaced threshold. The airport also has published activity nearby from aerobatics, parachute training and balloon operations are not authorized.
For a first-time arrival, treat this as a high-desert airport with a busy mix of local activity. File a flight plan and get prior permission within 5 NM of the airport manager. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any noise or curfew restrictions before flying into the field.
