Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston aircraft as a standard assumption. The field elevation is 3 ft MSL, so that puts the pattern near 1,003 ft MSL for light piston traffic. The tower is open 24 hours, so ATC sequences the pattern. Right traffic is not listed in the facts. No runway-specific pattern exception is published beyond the noise notes. Runway 11 is noise sensitive for departure. All runways are noise sensitive for arrival. Arriving turbojets must plan a 5 mile final approach.

Every end, one page

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