Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston aircraft unless ATC or published procedures say otherwise. At this non-towered field, self-announce and sequence with other traffic. Runway 21 is the preferred runway. That matters for local flow. Noise abatement also affects departures from runway 03. Maintain runway heading until 2 nautical miles north of the airport. Runway 03/21 and runway 12/30 are both asphalt. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement before departure for any changes.

Every end, one page

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