Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. For local planning, use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston aircraft unless local procedures or ATC say otherwise. KGWS has no control tower, so pilots self-announce and self-sequence in the pattern. No right-traffic exception is published in the facts.

The runway-specific operational note is the noise abatement guidance. When wind and weather permit, use runway 32 for arrivals. Use runway 14 for departures. That affects how you plan entries, spacing and departure flow. Verify the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go.

Every end, one page

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