Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston aircraft unless ATC assigns something different. The tower is open from 0700 to 2200, so ATC sequences the pattern during those hours. No right-traffic exceptions are published in the facts. No published pattern notes beyond the noise abatement limits were provided. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement before departure and use the tower for local traffic flow.

Every end, one page

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