Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston unless local guidance says otherwise. This puts the pattern near 1,440 ft MSL based on the listed field elevation. No right-traffic exception is published. No tower is listed, so pilots should self-announce and sequence with other traffic. Keep an eye on gravel surface operations. Expect normal non-towered pattern discipline and verify current airport details in the FAA Chart Supplement.

Every end, one page

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