Traffic pattern
Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston unless local procedures or ATC say otherwise. At this field elevation, that puts a light-aircraft pattern near 7,268.4 ft MSL. Runway 36 is the published right-traffic exception. Runway 18 uses the normal left pattern unless otherwise assigned. There is no control tower, so pilots self-announce and sequence themselves. Keep the noise abatement notes in mind. The published departure turn from runway 36 is part of local operating discipline.
Every end, one page
Each runway end has its own page with wind component, traffic pattern geometry and ILS for that specific direction.
