Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston unless ATC assigns otherwise. The airport is tower controlled during published hours, so ATC sequences traffic in the pattern. Runway-specific right traffic notes are not published. No special pattern notes are published for any runway. Confirm the active runway and pattern direction with the tower before entering the pattern.

Every end, one page

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