Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston aircraft unless ATC or local procedures say otherwise. Runway 32 has right traffic. That is the key pattern exception at KGAI. The airport is not towered, so pilots self-announce and self-sequence in the pattern. Keep the published noise abatement note in mind when departing runway 32. A right turn to at least 340 degrees is required after takeoff.

Every end, one page

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