Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise.

No ILS approaches are published here. If you are planning an instrument arrival, check the current Chart Supplement and the approach setup before you go. The field has self-serve fuel on site.

REIL is available on runway 20. The published remarks also call out birds and deer in the area, so keep a sharp scan on taxi, takeoff and final. There is also a reported obstacle note near runway 20.
