Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston operations, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless local procedures say otherwise. The airport is non-towered, so pilots self-announce and sequence with other traffic. Runway 36 uses right traffic. That is the main pattern exception listed. Keep the pattern tight and follow the published noise abatement guidance. Departures should avoid noise sensitive areas near the airport. Best rate of climb to pattern altitude is recommended before departing the pattern.

Every end, one page

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