The published traffic pattern altitude is not standard for all users. Light aircraft use 2,000 ft MSL left traffic. Turbine aircraft use 2,500 ft MSL left traffic. Rotorcraft use 2,000 ft MSL right traffic. Runway 33 is the calm wind runway. There is one ILS approach. It serves runway 33.

North Star Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. The published remarks also note after-hours fuel contact through the listed number in the Chart Supplement. Expect intensive flight training. Deer and migratory waterfowl are reported on and near the airport, so keep a sharp scan on departure and arrival. Runway lighting is well supported. Runway 33 has medium intensity approach lighting with alignment indicator lights. Runway 15/33 has high intensity runway lights. If you need current clearance delivery details or any operational change, check the current FAA Chart Supplement or call the airport operator or FBO directly.
