Duckwater (01U) has 2 runways. The longest is Runway 15/33 at 3,400 ft by 80 ft. It is dirt. Runway 03/21 is 2,700 ft by 75 ft. It is also dirt. There is no control tower at 01U. No ILS runway ends are published. That makes this a simple runway setup, but surface and length still matter for planning. The field elevation is 5,133 ft MSL, so density altitude can be a factor on warm days. Runway headings are 42°/222° for 03/21. Runway 15/33 is 168°/348°. No LAHSO notes are published. No noise abatement notes are published.

Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston operations, use standard 1,000 ft AGL unless local procedures say otherwise. At 01U there is no control tower, so traffic is self-announce and see-and-avoid. Check runway alignment before entry. Runway 03/21 is oriented 42°/222°. Runway 15/33 is oriented 168°/348°. With two dirt runways, wind and surface condition should drive the choice. No right-traffic exception is published. No special pattern notes are published.

Every end, one page

Each runway end has its own page with wind component, traffic pattern geometry and ILS for that specific direction.
