Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston unless ATC assigns something different. KLBB is tower controlled, so ATC sequences the pattern. Right traffic is published for runway 08. Right traffic is also published for runway 17R. Runway 17L/35R is the shortest runway at 2,891 ft. That matters for pattern work and runway selection. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement before departure.

Every end, one page

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