Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston operations, use 1,000 ft AGL as the standard assumption unless local guidance says otherwise. The field elevation is 778 ft MSL, so that puts a standard pattern near 1,778 ft MSL. No right-traffic exception is published. No tower is on the field, so pilots self-announce and sequence visually. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement before departure for any updates.

Every end, one page

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