Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston unless ATC assigns something different. The tower is open from 0700 to 2300, so ATC sequences the pattern during those hours. Runway 22 uses right traffic. Runway 28 uses right traffic. Runway 04 has a noise-sensitive area southwest of the airport, so non-standard traffic patterns for runway 04 are prohibited. Keep the pattern tight and fly the published and assigned procedures.

Every end, one page

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