Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston unless local procedures or ATC say otherwise. Yakutat is non-towered, so pilots should sequence themselves in the pattern and make clear radio calls. Runway 02 uses right traffic. Runway 29 uses right traffic. That makes both ends of the two runways operationally important for pattern planning. Verify winds and runway use 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.
