No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at about 1,040 ft MSL based on the field elevation. Verify before you fly.

The published remarks matter here. Wildlife is in the vicinity of the runway. The runway surface has 500 feet of irregular surface with varnishes and ponding. Runway condition is unmonitored, so a visual inspection before use is a smart call. There is also a 235 ft tower east of the field plus wind generators east of the airport. Medium intensity runway lights on 01/19 are activated on the CTAF. The rotating beacon is also activated on the CTAF.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. For current services or fuel availability, contact the airport operator directly or call the field on CTAF before arrival.
