There is 1 ILS approach on runway 09R. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.

Sheltair is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. FIT Aviation is also on the field. It carries 100LL. Bird activity is reported on and near the airport. That matters here because the field sits close to the coast and sees steady traffic. Runway 05/23 is not available for certain large scheduled or nonscheduled passenger operations. If you are planning a heavier arrival, check the current Chart Supplement and coordinate with the airport operator or FBO before you go. When the tower is closed, runway lighting and approach lighting are activated on CTAF. The field also has a published obstruction note near runway 09L. Verify your takeoff and landing plan before using that end.
