Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston operations, use 1,000 ft AGL as the standard reference unless ATC assigns otherwise. This is a tower-controlled field, so ATC sequences the pattern. No right-traffic exceptions were published in the facts. No runway-specific pattern notes were published. Expect normal tower coordination for arrivals, departures and pattern work during the published tower hours.

Every end, one page

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