vfr arrival Airport sponsor published verified 2026-08-27 (43 d ago)

Published by the airport sponsor; voluntary unless ATC assigns it. If ATC assigns this route to you in Class B, C or D airspace, that assignment is an ATC instruction and compliance is required (14 CFR 91.123) — and “unable” remains available to the pilot in command.

Arriving from the west, overfly the field at 1,500' MSL and re-enter on a 45° at 1,000'; right traffic 30, left traffic 12; expect turbulence on final to 12.

The route

  1. Right traffic for runway 30, and left traffic for runway 12
  2. Arrival from the west: fly overhead the airport at 1,500' MSL, continue outbound until clear of the traffic pattern, and make a normal 45° entry into the downwind leg at 1,000' MSL
  3. Maintain pattern altitude (1,000' MSL) until necessary to descend for landing
  4. Unexpected turbulent conditions may be encountered while on final approach to runway 12
  5. Use caution for aerobatic activity southwest of the airport over the water between 1,500' MSL and 4,000' MSL
