A few published remarks matter for a first-time arrival. Runway 31 lights are CTAF controlled. The VASI for runway 31 is usable only within 5 degrees right of centerline. It is also unusable beyond 3 NM. Trees and shrubs sit 100 ft from the runway end on both sides of runway 31. Runway 13 has a cataloged obstruction that exceeds a 45 degree slope. Heavy aircraft are restricted to the north taxiway and the north 400 ft of the apron. Seasonal helicopter activity is a factor from May 1 to September 15. Birds are present within 10 NM during spring through fall. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement and the airport operator for any current operating notes before you go.
