CAT 4 - Right Pattern RWY 30?
Posted: Tue Jun 05, 2018 1:31 am
While flying the CAT-4 from KSBP to KSMX, I was cleared to land and enter the Right Downwind Pattern for Runway 30 at KSMX.
According to the VFR sectional below, KSMX shows RP for runways 2 and 12 only.
Can anyone explain why I was cleared for Right Downwind Pattern? (I was expecting a Left Downwind Pattern).
Can the Tower change the pattern entry? What would be a reason for doing that?
Thanks,
Toby
