Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston unless ATC assigns otherwise. Field elevation is 728.4 ft MSL, so that puts a standard pattern near 1,728 ft MSL. The tower is open 24 hours, so ATC sequences the pattern. Noise abatement is important here. All approaches are over noise sensitive areas. Turbojet aircraft should not conduct multiple VFR traffic pattern approaches and departures without prior approval from the airport manager.

Every end, one page

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