KNDZ Max Aircraft in pattern is which value?

• A. OLF Spencer Elevation 151'
• B. Echo Intersection I-10 & 89
• C. Hughes Intersection 90 & 89
• D. KNDZ Max Aircraft in pattern 6 (does not include maintenance)

Answer: (D)

The main idea is how many aircraft can safely occupy the standard traffic pattern at a field. For KNDZ, that limit is six aircraft in the pattern. The note that this value “does not include maintenance” clarifies that aircraft undergoing maintenance on the field aren’t counted toward the six-in-pattern limit, so pattern occupancy remains six even if maintenance activity is present. The other options point to different data (elevation or navigation intersections) that don’t describe pattern capacity, so they don’t answer the question. Remember this: when planning, you must ensure no more than six aircraft are in the pattern; if it’s full, coordinate or hold until spacing allows entry.
