A few published remarks matter here. When the tower is closed, runway 31 lighting is activated through the approach lighting system, with runway alignment indicator lights and a PAPI for runway 31. Runways 13 and 26 also have end identifier lights. There is a security fence near the runway 13 side. Steeply descending terrain is near the runway 31 side in the 13/31 safety area. Taxiway B between D and N has limited ATC services in spots. If you are arriving after tower hours, contact NorCal Approach for clearance delivery.
