Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published for PTRO. For light piston operations, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless local procedures say otherwise. The field is not tower controlled, so pilots self-announce and self-sequence in the pattern. Runway 09/27 is the only runway, so pattern work centers on that single strip. No right-traffic exception is published. No runway-specific pattern notes are published.

Every end, one page

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