SUNRIVER TRAFFIC PATTERN & NOISE ABATEMENT
Right Traffic 18/ Left Traffic 36
Many Sunriver visitors like to enjoy the peace and beauty of the Mt. Bachelor area while participating in outdoor activities. We ask that all traffic stay west of the Deschutes River on the right downwind for 18, or the left for 36. On departing Rwy 36, turn to 320 degrees if possible for climb out along the river. Thank you for your consideration.
