Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston unless ATC assigns something different. This is a tower-controlled field, so ATC sequences the pattern. Right traffic is published for runway 14. Right traffic is also published for runway 36. Expect tower instructions to drive pattern flow and spacing. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any updates 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.
