VFR with moderate winds at 030°/8 kt. Visibility better than 10 statute miles and a few at 11,000 ft. Would shift to MVFR if the ceiling drops to 3,000 ft or visibility below 5 SM.

Pattern altitude: 1,002 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 PABA.
