Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless local procedures say otherwise. At this non-towered field, pilots self-announce and sequence visually. Keep pattern work tight and watch for other traffic on the single runway. No right-traffic exception is published. No special pattern notes are published in the facts. The field elevation is 1,640 ft MSL, so density altitude planning matters on warm days.

Every end, one page

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