General | There are no real danger areas at the airfield. If there is little or no wind we locals prefer runway 20 for takeoffs and 02 for landings because of the slope. There is a definite drop from north to south. In addition to the slope there is lots of room for a forced landing after take-off in a southerly direction. (20) |
