Climb as quickly and quietly as safely possible. Minimize flight and high power settings when flying over populated areas. Military aircraft use minimum power settings consistent with aircraft flight manuals. Afterburner takeoff is prohibited unless required for safety of flight. Engine-ups are permitted between 0600 and 2300.

Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston aircraft unless ATC assigns otherwise. Field elevation is 809.1 ft MSL, so that standard pattern works out to about 1,809 ft MSL. The airport has a control tower with 24-hour service, so ATC sequences the pattern. Runway-specific pattern notes are not published in the facts. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement and follow tower instructions for the active runway and any local pattern direction.

Every end, one page

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