Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston aircraft, use 1,000 ft AGL as the standard starting point unless ATC gives different instructions. The field elevation is 50.5 ft MSL.

Runway 17 uses right traffic. That is the published exception. Runway 35 is not listed with a right-traffic note. The tower is open from 0600 to 2200, so ATC sequences the pattern during those hours. Expect tower instructions to drive the final pattern setup and spacing.

Every end, one page

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