// Interpretation

VFR — ceiling 5,500 ft. Moderate winds at 150°/9 kt, visibility better than 10 statute miles, scattered at 1,500 ft, scattered at 2,000 ft, and broken at 5,500 ft. Would shift to MVFR if the ceiling drops to 3,000 ft or visibility below 5 SM.

Pattern altitude: 1,081 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 K5R8.
