Narrative:
Overlooked remark for RNAV (GPS) runway 35 approach into K24: 'procedure not applicable at night.' approach executed at night contrary to IAP remarks section. The 'procedures not applicable at night' portion of the remarks on the IAP is located in between 2 remarks dealing with using an off-airfield altimeter setting. Prior to the approach, I interpreted the not applicable portion of this remark to be associated with the use of the alternate altimeter setting. Upon review of the approach plate on the return leg of the flight, I realized the remark prohibited use of the approach at night regardless of altimeter setting source.
