Pattern direction by runway

Runway	Pattern	Heading	Pattern altitude
13	Left traffic	125° mag	1,100 ft MSL (≈1,000 AGL)
31	Left traffic	305° mag	1,100 ft MSL (≈1,000 AGL)
02	Left traffic	022° mag	1,100 ft MSL (≈1,000 AGL)

No pattern altitude is published for 2GA2; the figure above is the AC 90-66B 1,000 ft AGL convention for propeller aircraft, rounded to the field. Turbine aircraft normally fly 1,500 ft AGL. Headings are the runway alignment; downwind is the reciprocal.

Flying the pattern at 2GA2

Swaids Field is non towered. AC 90-66B asks for a report on entry and on each leg, and for the standard 45° entry to downwind at pattern altitude.

All ends are left traffic, which is the FAR 91.126 default — turns to the left unless the field charts otherwise. The full entry procedure is here →

Frequently asked

What is the traffic pattern altitude at 2GA2?

Swaids Field has no traffic pattern altitude published in the FAA NASR data. The AC 90-66B convention for propeller aircraft is 1,000 ft AGL, which works out to roughly 1,100 ft MSL (≈1,000 AGL) here — but confirm it against the Chart Supplement before you fly, since a field can have a non standard pattern altitude that NASR does not carry.

Does 2GA2 have right traffic?

No. All 4 runway ends at Swaids Field use standard left traffic, so no right pattern is charted here.

More about 2GA2

Pattern direction and alignment are drawn from the FAA NASR (28-day cycle); the diagram is generated, not an FAA chart. Pattern altitude is shown as published where NASR carries one, otherwise as the AC 90-66B 1,000 ft AGL convention. For planning and education only; always verify against the Chart Supplement.
