Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston operations, use 1,000 ft AGL as the standard pattern altitude unless local procedures say otherwise. That puts the pattern near 2,464.5 ft MSL at this field elevation.

There is no control tower. Plan to self-announce and sequence with other traffic. No right-traffic exceptions are published. No special pattern notes are published in the facts. Use normal vigilance on both runway systems, since the airport has two asphalt runways with different lengths and widths.

Every end, one page

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