Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston unless ATC gives different instructions. At this field that puts a typical pattern near 6,355 ft MSL. The tower is open 24 hours, so ATC sequences the pattern. Right traffic is published for runway 03, runway 08 and runway 12. That matters for base and downwind planning. Expect tower instructions to drive the pattern flow. Review the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go.

Every end, one page

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