Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston operations, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless local procedures say otherwise. At this field, that works out to about 1,343 ft MSL based on the published field elevation of 342.7 ft MSL.
No tower is published, so pilots sequence themselves in the pattern. Expect to make your own traffic calls. Keep a close scan for aircraft using either runway 05/23 or 17/35. No right-traffic exception is published. No special pattern notes are published in the facts.
Every end, one page
Each runway end has its own page with wind component, traffic pattern geometry and ILS for that specific direction.
