The published remarks also note 24-hour self-serve fuel with credit card access.

A few runway notes matter here. The approach slope to the displaced threshold on runway 01 is 15 to 1. The PAPI on runway 01 is unusable beyond 9 degrees left of centerline. On runway 19, there is a 15-foot road near the runway end on the right side. The PAPI on runway 19 is unusable beyond 7 degrees right of centerline. Medium intensity runway lights are activated by CTAF. For a first-time arrival, review the runway lighting and the displaced threshold notes before you go.
