Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston operations, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless ATC assigns otherwise. The tower is in operation from 0600 to 2200, so ATC sequences the pattern during those hours. Right traffic is published for runway 03. Right traffic is also published for runway 35. No other runway pattern exceptions are listed 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.
