Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston unless ATC assigns something different. KSLC is tower-controlled, so ATC sequences the pattern. The field elevation is 4,230.9 ft MSL. That matters for density altitude and pattern work. Runway use is centered on the long 16/34 pair and runway 17/35. Runway 14/32 is also available. No right-traffic exception is published in the facts.

Every end, one page

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