No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is 800 ft AGL for light aircraft. That works out to 1,420.3 ft MSL. Multi-engine and large single-engine aircraft use 1,000 ft AGL. The airport uses medium intensity runway lights on both runways. They are activated by keying the common traffic advisory frequency.

There are a few items a first-time pilot should brief. Runway 01 has terrain and tree obstructions near the approach end. Runway 29 has a displaced threshold with a blast pad beyond the runway end. The airport also notes obstruction lighting along both sides of runway 01/19 and the tree line. If you need clearance delivery and cannot reach flight service, Boston ARTCC is listed as the backup contact. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any current operational notes before you go.
