That is plenty of pavement for most general aviation and airline traffic. The airport is towered from 0600 to 2345. When the tower is closed, use CTAF 120.1 and watch the published lighting notes closely. Runway 04 has an ALSF-2 setup in step 3 only when the tower is closed. Runway 22 has medium intensity approach lights with runway alignment indicator lights and centerline lighting when the tower is closed. Two ILS approaches are published. They serve runway ends 04 and 22. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Cerulean Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. This is a busy Class C environment, so plan ahead for sequencing and read back clearances carefully. The runway is long. The published remarks also note weight and taxi restrictions for some aircraft and maintenance users. If you are operating something heavy or unusual, call airport operations before you go.
