Signature Aviation is on the field. It carries JET_A and JET_A_PRIST. Atlantic Aviation is also on the field. It carries JET_A. For a first-time arrival, the big items are noise sensitivity on westerly departures. No turns before crossing the shoreline. Over-ocean approaches are used from 0000 to 0630. Taxi with minimal power near terminals because of blast hazard. Runway 07R/25L is listed as the preferred emergency runway. Check the current Chart Supplement and coordinate with the airport operator if your aircraft has a wingspan greater than 214 feet.
