Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston aircraft unless local procedures or ATC say otherwise. At the field elevation of 723.2 ft MSL, that is about 1,723 ft MSL. Runway 16 uses right traffic. Runway 34 is the calm wind preferred direction. There is no control tower, so pilots self-announce and self-sequence. The noise abatement note asks pilots to climb to 1,500 ft AGL before turning. Keep that in mind on departure and when planning pattern work.

Every end, one page

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