Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston operations, use 1,000 ft AGL as the standard pattern altitude unless local procedures or ATC say otherwise. KSMD has no control tower, so pilots self-sequence in the pattern and make their own traffic calls.

No right-traffic exceptions are published. No runway-specific pattern notes are published. Use the published runway alignment and current wind to choose the best runway. Keep your spacing tight enough for a clean self-announce pattern, but leave room for other traffic.

Every end, one page

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