Nonstandard traffic pattern indication

How would a pilot learn that an airport uses a right-hand traffic pattern for a particular runway?

  • A.From the segmented circle markers and the Chart Supplement entry for that airport
  • B.Right-hand patterns are never used
  • C.By listening to the ATIS at a non-towered airport
Correct answer

A. From the segmented circle markers and the Chart Supplement entry for that airport

Why

Exceptions to the standard left-hand pattern are published in the Chart Supplement and shown by the segmented circle. Checking both sources prevents a remote pilot from misjudging where manned traffic will be.
