Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston unless ATC assigns something different. This is a tower-controlled field, so ATC sequences the pattern and handles traffic flow. Right traffic is published for Runway 34. Right traffic is also published for Runway 17. Plan for those exceptions when you brief the circuit. The runway headings are 172° and 352° magnetic for both runway pairs.

Every end, one page

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