Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston operations, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless local procedures say otherwise. At this field, that works out to about 2,198 ft MSL based on the listed field elevation of 1,198 ft.

No tower is published, so traffic is self-announced and sequenced by pilots in the pattern. Runway 18/36 and runway 12/30 both use turf surfaces. Use the published runway headings and watch for wind and traffic before joining. No right-traffic 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.
