Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston unless ATC gives different instructions. The tower is open 24 hours, so ATC sequences the pattern. Right traffic is published for runway 26R, runway 22 and runway 08R. That matters for base and downwind planning. Noise abatement procedures are in effect. Contact the tower for details before you fly the pattern.

Every end, one page

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