Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston unless published otherwise. At KWYS, that works out to about 7,649 ft MSL based on the field elevation of 6,649 ft MSL. There is no control tower, so pilots self-announce and self-sequence in the pattern. No right-traffic exception is published in the facts. No special pattern notes are published. Keep spacing tight enough for good situational awareness. Leave room for the high-elevation performance picture.

Every end, one page

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