Traffic pattern
Pattern altitude is not published. Use a standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston aircraft unless ATC assigns otherwise. KDCA is tower controlled, so ATC sequences the pattern. Right traffic is published for runway 15, runway 22 and runway 19. That matters for pattern entry and downwind direction. Expect close attention to tower instructions at this field. Review the current FAA Chart Supplement 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.
