Runway 01 has sharp drop-offs at the approach end. Runway 07 has sharp drop-offs too. Cataloged obstacles at runway 07 exceed a 45 degree slope. Operations between runways are not visible because of brush. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement before departure for the latest runway and operational notes.
