Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or local procedures say otherwise. KHQU has no control tower, so pilots self-announce. Pilots also self-sequence in the pattern.

The facts do not list any right-traffic exceptions. The facts also do not publish any special pattern notes. Keep your scan tight on 10/28 traffic and verify wind, traffic flow and runway choice before joining.

Every end, one page

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