Traffic pattern
Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston operations, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless ATC or published guidance says otherwise. The field is non-towered, so pilots self-announce and self-sequence in the pattern. Right traffic is published for runway 18. That means left traffic applies to runway 36 unless traffic flow or local procedures require something different. Keep a close watch for opposite-direction traffic on the same runway.
Every end, one page
Each runway end has its own page with wind component, traffic pattern geometry and ILS for that specific direction.
