Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston aircraft unless ATC assigns something different. Hilo Intl is tower controlled during published hours, so ATC sequences the pattern. Runway-specific pattern direction is not published in the facts. Noise abatement is a key local note. Avoid overflight of noise sensitive residential areas north, west and southwest of the airport. Build that into your departure and arrival planning. Confirm any local pattern instructions with the tower before you enter 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.
