Pattern altitude: 1,486 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 KLKR.
