I used to get the AOPA airport directory, which always listed pattern altitudes. Strangely enough, I don't see that information listed in the A/FD...
I mean, typically all you have to do is add 1000' to field elevation, but sometimes it can be less.

Uh.... it is in the A/FD. I pulled this excerpt off of the Digital A/FD onine.
AC 90-66A said:It is recommended that airplanes observe a 1000 foot above ground level (AGL) traffic pattern altitude. Large and turbine powered airplanes should enter the traffic pattern at an altitude of 1,500 feet AGL or 500 feet above the established pattern altitude. A pilot may vary the size of the traffic pattern depending on the aircraft's performance characteristics.
