Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston aircraft unless ATC assigns otherwise. At KGON, the tower sequences traffic during tower hours. This is a controlled field. Expect ATC to manage pattern flow and runway use.

Noise abatement is part of normal operations here. Runway 05 departures use a left turn to heading 020 until 1,000 ft. Runway 23 departures use a left turn to heading 210 until 1,000 ft. Runway 33 departures fly runway heading until 1,000 ft. Review the current FAA Chart Supplement before flight.

Every end, one page

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