There is no control tower, so expect CTAF self-announce operations on 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here, so plan for VFR only. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.

A few local items matter for the brief. Runway end identifier lights on 15 and 33 are CTAF-activated. The PAPI on both ends works from dawn to 0100 or when the medium intensity runway lights are on. After 0100, the runway lights and taxiways are activated by CTAF. Runway 15 has a fence near the departure end, offset left of centerline. There is also low level military activity in the area. Deer, birds and a tree-obscured beacon to the east are worth keeping in mind. Clearance delivery is handled through Washington ARTCC at 703-771-3587.
