Aircraft with a wingspan greater than 49 feet are not authorized in the northeast and northwest private hangar areas, and taxilane weight is limited to 12,500 pounds in that area.
When the air traffic control tower is closed, pilots must activate MIRL for runway 01R/19L and runway 13/31, and HIRL for runway 01L/19R, taxiway H, L, T, and Z, and taxilane DD, using the CTAF. HIRL for runway 01L/19R is preset to medium intensity, and pilots can increase intensity via CTAF.
An 8-foot-tall road is located 200 feet from the runway threshold on both sides.
A 48-foot power line located 826 feet from the end of runway 19L creates a 20:1 approach clearance slope to the displaced threshold.
Noise abatement procedure: turns on departure prior to reaching 1,500 feet MSL are not authorized.
