Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston aircraft unless ATC gives different instructions. The airport is tower controlled, so ATC sequences pattern traffic. Right traffic is published for runway 32R. Right traffic is also published for runway 14R. That makes the pattern setup important on both runway pairs. Review the runway assignment and expect tower coordination in the pattern. Keep noise abatement in mind and contact the noise office if you need the published procedures.

Every end, one page

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