Ames Muni (KAMW) has 2 runways. The longest is 01/19 at 5,701 ft. It is asphalt and gives you the main paved length on the field. The other runway is 13/31 at 3,491 ft. It is concrete. Runway 01 has published ILS. No tower is listed, so expect non-towered self-announcement and standard CTAF traffic flow unless ATC is in use for a specific operation. Right traffic is published for runway 13. Right traffic is also published for runway 01. No LAHSO notes are published. No noise abatement notes are published. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for the latest published runway data before you go.

Traffic pattern
Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston operations, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless local procedures or ATC say otherwise. Field elevation is 955.6 ft MSL, so that puts a normal light aircraft pattern near 1,956 ft MSL. Right traffic is published for runway 13. Right traffic is also published for runway 01. That matters when you brief the downwind and base. With no control tower, pilots sequence themselves in the pattern unless ATC is handling the operation. Verify the current FAA Chart Supplement before departure.
Every end, one page
Each runway end has its own page with wind component, traffic pattern geometry and ILS for that specific direction.
