Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston operations, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless ATC or local procedures say otherwise. 5W5 has no control tower, so pilots self-announce and self-sequence in the pattern. The airport has one runway only. That keeps pattern work simple, but you still need to watch for opposite-direction traffic on 16/34. Use the current FAA Chart Supplement for any published local notes before you go.

Every end, one page

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