Default Question: Elevation --- RWY

KGOO (formerly O17, Grass Valley CA) has a 3% slope to the runway. The
firebombers (air tankers Grumman S2Ts) always take off downhill and land
uphill. Night operations for everybody are notamed the same because of the
trees at the east end of the runway.

Apparently there are just now "absolute" true rules such as:

Airplanes always land in the same direction as they took off.
