Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston aircraft unless ATC assigns otherwise. At this field elevation, that puts a standard pattern near 4,671 ft MSL. The airport is tower controlled during published hours, so ATC sequences the pattern. Right traffic is published for runway 03. Right traffic is also published for runway 17. Expect tower instructions to drive pattern flow when the tower is open.

Every end, one page

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