Riverside (KRAL) has 2 runways. The longest is runway 09/27 at 5,401 ft by 100 ft. It is asphalt. Runway 16/34 is 2,850 ft by 50 ft. It is also asphalt. ILS is published for runway 09. The field elevation is 818.9 ft MSL.
The tower is open 0700-2000. Pilots should expect tower control during those hours. Noise abatement notes apply here. Turbine engine aircraft have a preferred rolling takeoff for noise management. Runway 27 departures call for a right turn of 10 degrees after departure. Then assume course after reaching 1500 MSL. No turns are allowed before the airport boundary and 1500 feet MSL for noise management.

Traffic pattern
Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston unless ATC assigns otherwise. The tower is open 0700-2000, so ATC sequences the pattern during those hours. Runway 16 has right traffic. That is the only published traffic pattern exception in the facts. Keep the noise abatement notes in mind. No turns are allowed before the airport boundary and 1500 feet MSL for noise management.
Every end, one page
Each runway end has its own page with wind component, traffic pattern geometry and ILS for that specific direction.
