Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston operations, use 1,000 ft AGL as the standard pattern unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The field is not towered, so pilots self-announce and self-sequence in the pattern. Runway 08/26 is the only runway. That keeps traffic flow simple, but it also means you need to stay alert for opposite-direction traffic. ILS is available on runway 26, so expect instrument arrivals to favor that end when conditions call for it.

Every end, one page

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