Traffic pattern
Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston unless ATC assigns otherwise. The field elevation is 896.1 ft MSL, so standard pattern altitude works out to about 1,896 ft MSL. This is a towered field with 24-hour control, so ATC sequences the pattern.
Right-traffic exceptions are not published in the facts. Noise abatement is the main pattern factor here. Expect runway assignments to shift from 2200 to 0700 based on noise procedures. The airport also has noise sensitive areas north and south of the field. Plan for tight compliance with tower instructions.
Every end, one page
Each runway end has its own page with wind component, traffic pattern geometry and ILS for that specific direction.
