Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston unless local procedures or ATC say otherwise. The airport is non-towered, so pilots self-announce and sequence visually. Runway 12 uses right traffic. Runway 30 is the opposite direction. Noise abatement is important here. Keep east or west of the city of Merced above 1,500 ft MSL when practical. Departures from runway 12 should avoid left turns over the city until reaching 3,000 ft MSL.

Every end, one page

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