The final approach to Runway 18 requires a steep, descending right turn from base leg with almost no straight-in portion. Overshooting this turn presents the most serious potential for conflict in the Sheppard environment due to the high-performance, high-density traffic on Runway 15R/33L. Extreme caution should be exercised when landing on Runway 18 so as not to overfly the ENJJPT Apron or taxiway D parallel to Runway 15R/33L.

Pattern entry will be at or below 2,400 feet MSL from either the SPS VORTAC or Kickapoo Airport. Maintain 1,800' MSL in the pattern for Runway 18/36.

RWY 18/36 has no landing strobes; however, ATC is able to highlight the runway by turning on/increasing the intensity of the runway edge lights, if necessary.

See NOTAMS for applicable runway/taxiway construction.
