There are a few operational items worth having in mind before arrival. Noise abatement calls for takeoffs to climb straight ahead to 1,200 ft MSL. Runway 18 departures then turn crosswind abeam the water tank 1.1 miles east-southeast of the runway. The downwind for runway 18 is extended, with the leg flown east of the high school. Medium intensity runway lights are available. Key the CTAF five times to activate runway and taxiway lights. The runway has no safety area because of abrupt drop-off at both ends. Occasional coyote activity has been reported on or near the runway and taxiway.
