Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC gives different instructions. The field elevation is 1,790.6 ft MSL, so that puts a standard pattern near 2,790.6 ft MSL. The tower is open 24 hours, so ATC sequences the pattern. Right traffic is published for runway 35R. Right traffic is also published for runway 17R. Check the active runway and expect tower instructions to drive the pattern flow.

Every end, one page

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