2. Maintain pattern altitude until abeam approach end of the landing runway on downwind leg.
3. Complete turn to final at least 1/4 mile from the runway.
4. Continue straight ahead until beyond departure end of runway.
5. If remaining in the traffic pattern, commence turn to crosswind leg beyond the departure end of the runway within 300 feet of pattern altitude.
6. If departing the traffic pattern, continue straight out, or exit with a 45 degree turn (to the left when in a left−hand traffic pattern; to the right when in a right−hand traffic pattern) beyond the departure end of the runway, after reaching pattern altitude.

2. Aircraft have the right-of-way AT ALL TIMES.  All other traffic must yield to aircraft.
3. Any vehicle, prior to crossing a taxiway and/or runway, is advised to cross at 90 after coming to a complete stop and checking for aircraft movement both on the ground and in the sky prior to crossing.Note:  for safety reasons, crossing the paved runway in any vehicle is strongly discouraged.  It is highly recommended that vehicles travel around the ends of the runway, staying off the pavement unless the situation is emergent.
4. It is recommended that all aircraft and all vehicles operating on any taxiway and/or runway have and use a radio tuned to 122.9 and announce their intentions using proper phraseology.
5. Be advised that PAPI, signage, airport lighting, SayWeather automated advisories and runway markings are advisory only. Pilots operate at their discretion and assume all risks associated therewith.

   • All aircraft landing on the runway shall observe a STANDARD LEFT HAND TRAFFIC PATTERN, flown at 1,000 ft AGL except as follows: Helicopters and Gyroplanes shall observe a STANDARD RIGHT HAND TRAFFIC PATTERN, flown at 500 ft AGL. For takeoff and landing on the center & north taxiway see #6.
   • It is recommended that landing/taxi lights be turned on for all take offs and landings.
   • No takeoffs shall be flown in a manner where a 180-degree turn is made for a return flight to the runway in the opposite direction of the takeoff.

   • NIGHT OPERATIONS – Use, paved surface runway only.
   • For the purpose of checking wind direction, no aircraft shall cross the airport lower than their traffic pattern altitude.
7. With regard to Helicopter / Gyroplane operation:
   • Residents and their guests can, at their discretion and after careful consideration for the safety and noise to the residents, during day light operation, land and depart from taxiways with a helicopter, however in no such case shall a helicopter fly over any residence or property within Aero Acres.
