Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston unless local guidance says otherwise. This field is non-towered, so self-announce and sequence with other traffic. Right traffic is published for 20L and 20R. That is the key pattern note here. Both runways share the same magnetic headings of 39°/219°. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement before flight. Verify local flow and traffic mix on the day of operation.

Every end, one page

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