Landing south is not recommended. Takeoff north is not recommended.

The approach area also has several hazards. Runway 16 has a road, 30-foot trees and a power line across the approach path close to the runway end. Runway 34 uses a curved approach from the southwest to avoid high terrain and trees on the right. Trees are reported near both sides of the runway area. This is a field where a first-time pilot should review the current Chart Supplement, brief the terrain and obstacle picture and make sure the airplane performance matches the surface and approach conditions.
