Traffic pattern
Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston unless ATC says otherwise. At this towered field, ATC sequences the pattern. Denver Intl is a 24-hour towered airport, so expect controlled traffic flow at all times.
The published notes do not list right-traffic exceptions. No special pattern altitude is given in the facts. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement before flight if you need the latest runway use or pattern details. The airport also notes an informal runway use program that runs 24 hours a day.
Every end, one page
Each runway end has its own page with wind component, traffic pattern geometry and ILS for that specific direction.
