Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston planning, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern near 4,260.8 ft MSL. Runway 27 right traffic pattern arms are not authorized. The field has published brush near both runway ends and along parts of the runway centerline area. Two hills are south of the airport. The lighted wind indicator is out of service indefinitely. Runway hold and taxiway exit signs are also out of service indefinitely.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Check with the airport operator or call the field directly before arrival if you need fuel or ramp details. Runway end identifier lights, PAPI and medium intensity runway lights are published for both ends of 09/27. The lights are controlled by CTAF. The parallel taxiway has reported cracks, so expect a field that deserves a careful taxi and landing brief before you go in.
