Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston aircraft unless local procedures or ATC say otherwise. KFSU has no control tower, so pilots sequence themselves in the pattern and on CTAF. Runway selection should follow wind, traffic flow and runway length. Runway 03/21 is the longer runway. Runway 08/26 is the shorter crosswind option. No right traffic exceptions are published in the facts.

Every end, one page

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