MVFR — visibility 3.7 SM. Brisk winds at 230°/15 kt, gusting 25, visibility 3.7 SM, a few at 2,600 ft. Reported weather: low drifting widespread dust (DRDU). Widespread dust reduces visibility and signals dry, unstable, or windy conditions upstream. Would drop to IFR below 1,000 ft ceiling or 3 SM visibility, or rise back to VFR above 3,000 ft and 5 SM.

Pattern altitude: 2,506 ft MSL (1,000 ft AGL).
Verify pattern direction and altitude with the chart supplement before flying.
// On calm winds (<3 kt), all runways are usable — favor the longest or whatever the pattern calls for.
// Density altitude
Density altitude needs current temperature + altimeter + field elevation — one or more is unavailable for DAAD.
