Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston unless ATC gives different instructions. KSMO is tower controlled from 0700 to 2100, so ATC sequences the pattern during those hours.

Runway 03 has right traffic. No other pattern exceptions are published in the facts. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement before flight. Expect noise-sensitive procedures at this field.

Every end, one page

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