The aerodrome is located in the heart of a residential community, with many 33 houses having access to the airport's taxiway Bravo. Due to the proximity to the community the airport has undertaken many measures to aid and manage aircraft related noise. The hours of runway operation (as per the CFS) are 0700-2300 daily. Night flights after 2300 are restricted (by prior permission only) as a good neighbour policy with the surrounding community. An auto-scheduler operates the runway lights to coordinate with operating hours and sunrise/sunset. The airport has 100LL fuel available. A call to the APM is required to arrange pump access.
In 2021, there were reports of the airport closing to fixed-wing traffic; those reports have proven to be incorrect. [2]
