Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless local procedures or the current Chart Supplement say otherwise. The field is a small, light-aircraft airport with a published maximum gross weight limit of 5,000 lb. Aircraft above that limit are not permitted. Full stop landings only are allowed.
