A few remarks matter for planning. Taxi on pavement only. Helicopter takeoffs and landings are restricted to runway 08/26 only. There is also a tree near each end of runway 13/31, so pay close attention to runway length and departure performance on that strip. Parachute jumping is conducted from March through November. The drop zone is on the north side of the airport. No touch-and-go or stop-and-go operations are allowed. If you are new to the field, brief the runway lighting procedure too.
