Flying K Field traffic pattern

Pattern altitude at Flying K Field (57MT) is 5,100 ft MSL (≈1,000 AGL) by the standard convention — none is published for this field, and 12, 30, 05, 23 are charted right traffic. · Open on the map

Pattern direction by runway

Runway	Pattern	Heading	Pattern altitude
12	Right traffic	141° true	5,100 ft MSL (≈1,000 AGL)
30	Right traffic	321° true	5,100 ft MSL (≈1,000 AGL)

No pattern altitude is published for 57MT; 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 (true — magnetic variation unavailable); downwind is the reciprocal.

Flying the pattern at 57MT

Flying K 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.

Watch the right traffic ends here: 12, 30, 05, 23. A right pattern at a field where the other end is left is the single most common place to end up pointing at opposing traffic. The full entry procedure is here →

Frequently asked

What is the traffic pattern altitude at 57MT?

Flying K 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 5,100 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 57MT have right traffic?

Yes, on 4 runway ends: 12, 30, 05, 23. Every other end at Flying K Field is standard left traffic.

More about 57MT

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.
