Traffic pattern
Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston operations, use standard 1,000 ft AGL unless local procedures or ATC say otherwise. There is no control tower, so pilots self-announce and self-sequence in the pattern. Runway 27 has ILS, so expect that end to matter for instrument arrivals when the weather is down. Runway 09/27 is the primary longer runway. Runway 03/21 is available when wind or traffic flow makes it the better choice. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any airport-specific pattern guidance before you go.
Every end, one page
Each runway end has its own page with wind component, traffic pattern geometry and ILS for that specific direction.
