A few runway notes matter here. Runway 02/20 is closed from November 15 through April 15. It also has a sharp 20-foot drop-off at each end. It slopes downhill to the north about 1.5 percent. Runway 02 and runway 20 are marked with yellow cones. Runway 11 has a 6-foot sign 50 feet from the threshold, 160 feet left of centerline. The PAPI on runway 29 is unusable beyond 5 degrees left of centerline. Runway 11/29 has medium intensity lights that sit at low preset from sunset to sunrise. Use the CTAF to increase intensity and to turn on the runway end identifier lights.
For a first-time arrival, the main things are the turf closure dates, the runway slope and the lighting setup on 11/29. Check the current Chart Supplement for any updates before you go.
