Pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston aircraft unless ATC or the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Heritage Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. For current ramp, parking, or fuel availability details, call the FBO directly.

This is a cold temperature airport. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 9 degrees Celsius. The field also has a few items that matter on rollout and taxi. Taxiway K is limited to smaller aircraft. Taxiway M is seasonal. There is also a steam source about 2 NM from the aerodrome off the 15 side that can blur the final approach picture. Runway 15 has MALSR. Runway 33 has MALSF. PAPI is available on 01, 15, 19 and 33. The airport sits in Class C airspace, so plan to work the tower and approach frequencies on arrival.
