TRAFFIC PATTERN INFORMATION
1. The traffic pattern for Runway #26 is right-hand; the traffic pattern for Runway #8 is
left-hand.
2. The down-wind leg lies north of the runway.
3. The use of Runway #8 or #26 is dependent on wind conditions. If the easterly wind is
over 10 knots, the use of Runway #8 is recommended.
4. The traffic pattern at Redlands Municipal Airport (RMA) is established at 829 feet above
ground level. Ground level at RMA is 1,571 above sea level (MSL). Thus, the altitude
of the traffic pattern abode sea level at RMA is 2,400 feet MSL.
5. The cross wind leg for Runway #26 is over the west end of the runway. (Over the 8.)
6. For traffic departing on Runway #26 westerly or southerly:
A. Do not fly over the SBD traffic pattern below 3000 feet MSL.
B. Do not fly over residential areas south of the river wash less than 2200 feet MSL.
C. Turn left before reaching Orange Street (the first street west of the airport which
crosses the river wash) and west bound traffic follow I-10.
D. If 2200 feet MSL is not attained before Orange Street, use right hand down wind
departure to gain altitude.
8. Helicopters operate south of the airport using a left-hand pattern. Helicopter pattern
altitude is 2,000 MSL.
9. Runway #8 is suggested as the primary runway for night landings, if winds permit.
10. Aircraft preparing to land at Redlands Municipal Airport must observe the traffic pattern
altitude, the direction of turns in the pattern, the use of the down-wind leg, and must
exercise discretion concerning wind conditions and other aircraft in the pattern or aircraft
preparing to land or take off. The observance of these requirements is essential for
safety at the airport.
11. Pilots landing contrary to wind indicator or established pattern assume all responsibility
for such action. This practice is discouraged in that it does not promote flying safely.
