A first-time pilot should pay close attention to the runway end and terrain notes. Runway 24 has a 30-foot drop-off 350 feet from the threshold. There are trees near the approach end. Runway 06 has a 40-foot drop-off 325 feet from the threshold. There is also a steeper drop-off very close to the threshold on the right side. Taxiway A near runway 06 also has a significant drop-off. Runway lights, REILs and PAPI are activated by CTAF. The lighting is useful at night. The terrain and obstacle notes make a careful stabilized approach important.
