Traffic pattern
Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston unless ATC assigns something different. The field elevation is 681.9 ft MSL, so that puts a typical light aircraft pattern near 1,682 ft MSL.
This is a tower-controlled field. ATC sequences the pattern during tower hours. Runway use can change with wind and traffic flow. Runway 06 has published ILS. Runway 24 has a secondary LAHSO restriction with runway 18/36. No right-traffic pattern is published.
Every end, one page
Each runway end has its own page with wind component, traffic pattern geometry and ILS for that specific direction.
