Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is 800 ft AGL, which is 1,645.1 ft MSL. The airport is tower controlled, so ATC sequences the pattern. Right traffic is published for 27R, 09R, 35R and 17R. That means the standard pattern is not used on those runway ends. Plan the pattern early. Verify the active runway and traffic flow with tower before entering. The exact pattern altitude matters here because the field elevation is 845.1 ft MSL.

Every end, one page

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