Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston unless ATC says otherwise. Field elevation is 40.9 ft MSL. This is a towered airport, so ATC sequences the pattern during tower hours. Right traffic is published for 04R, 11 and 22R. That matters when you are planning base and final. Runway 04L/22R is the shorter parallel. Runway 04R/22L is the longest runway and has ILS on both ends. Runway 11/29 is also available 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.
