Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston ops, use 1,000 ft AGL as the standard pattern altitude unless ATC says otherwise. The tower is open 0700-2100, so ATC sequences the pattern during those hours. Right traffic is published for runway 23. That is the main pattern exception to brief. Runway 05 uses the opposite direction pattern unless assigned otherwise by ATC. Verify the active runway and pattern direction before joining.

Every end, one page

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