Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published for C53. For light piston aircraft, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. There is no control tower, so pilots self-announce and sequence themselves in the pattern. Runway 16/34 is the only runway. Use the published traffic pattern direction for the runway in use and keep a close eye on wind and terrain. The field elevation is 4,200 ft MSL, so density altitude matters on warm days.

Every end, one page

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