Taxiways A1 and A2 are for aircraft rescue only. When the tower is closed, runway lighting is activated on CTAF. The PAPI on runways 14, 23 and 32 operates 24 hours.

Colonial Air and Nor East Aviation Services are on the field. Both carry 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. If you are planning a larger aircraft or an unusual operation, call the airport manager before you go. The published remarks also note a 50:1 approach slope issue near the displaced threshold of runway 23. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any local procedures before arrival.
