PPR is essential, requiring advance submission of airworthiness, insurance, and personal details via handling agents Executive Air Services, who operate from a dedicated GA terminal with comfortable facilities and good road or taxi access. Example: handling about $150 for all services for pilot and two passengers on a one-day visit. Another example: minimum handling fee about $50. Taxiing is straightforward but requires care when crossing and identifying runways. The airport has three runways, each over 10,500 ft, with axes within 50 degrees.
