Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston unless local procedures say otherwise. That puts the pattern near 1,925 ft MSL at this field elevation of 924.8 ft MSL. No right-traffic exceptions are published. No tower is on the field, so pilots self-announce and self-sequence in the pattern. Keep a close scan for other traffic on both runways. Runway 01/19 is the longer strip. Runway 06/24 is shorter and may be the better crosswind choice when winds favor it.

Every end, one page

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