Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston unless ATC gives different instructions. Field elevation is 647 ft MSL, so that is 1,647 ft MSL for a standard piston pattern. The tower is open during published hours, so ATC sequences traffic in the pattern. Runway 24 has right traffic. Runway 30 has right traffic. No other right-traffic exception is listed in the facts. Expect noise sensitive areas north and south of the airport.

Every end, one page

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