Traffic pattern
Pattern altitude is not published at KMEV. For light piston aircraft, use 1,000 ft AGL as the standard unless local procedures say otherwise. The field elevation is 4,723.6 ft MSL, so expect a high-density-altitude environment. Runway 12 uses right traffic. Runway 16 uses right traffic. Those exceptions matter when you brief the pattern.
KMEV is non-towered, so pilots self-announce and sequence visually. Keep noise abatement in mind. The published note says noise abatement procedures are in effect. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for the latest local guidance before arrival.
Every end, one page
Each runway end has its own page with wind component, traffic pattern geometry and ILS for that specific direction.
