A few runway notes matter here. Runway 33 is closed from sunset to sunrise. Runway 33 is also closed for takeoff. Runway 15 is not available for approach. Runway 06 has a PAPI out of service indefinitely. There is also a railroad obstruction near Runway 06, plus a road close to both sides of the centerline. Approaches to 06/24 are expected to stay high enough to cross Route 2 near Runway 24 or the railroad near Runway 6 at or above 135 ft MSL. If you are new to the field, brief the runway 06/24 lighting and obstruction picture before arrival.
