Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston unless ATC assigns otherwise. At this towered field, ATC sequences the pattern during tower hours. Runway 09L has right traffic for 27R. That is the only right-traffic note in the facts. Noise abatement matters here. Runway 17 is the preferred departure runway when the tower is closed. Pilots should expect extra attention to noise sensitive areas in all quadrants. Helicopter Pioneer procedures use a 700 ft MSL noise abatement pattern altitude.

Every end, one page

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