A one-ended instrument set

Jekyll Island’s two approaches serve just one end of runway 18/36, so instrument coverage does not provide a choice of runway alignment. The RNAV (GPS) and VOR procedures offer two different forms of guidance to that end. With a single 3,715 ft runway, the layout is straightforward, while the available length limits use to aircraft whose take-off and landing requirements fit that distance. No airport diagram is published.

Coverage around Jekyll Island

Nearby procedure coverage varies noticeably. Fernandina Beach Municipal and Brunswick Golden Isles have broader chart sets, while St Simons Island and Jesup-Wayne County are only slightly more extensively covered; Brantley County matches Jekyll Island’s small total. The Jacksonville Sectional adds wider visual-navigation context not supplied by the instrument procedures and minimums sheet.

3 current FAA charts for Jekyll Island, including 2 instrument approachs. All are free to download as PDFs from this page, from the 6 August 2026 cycle.

What are the radio frequencies for 09J?

CTAF 123.05. Full civil VHF list, with sector notes, is in the frequencies table on this page — from the FAA NASR subscription.

How long is the runway at 09J?

Jekyll Island has 1 runway. The longest is 18/36 at 3,715 ft by 75 ft, asphalt. Full runway dimensions, lighting and approach aids are listed on this page.

No ILS is published. In total 09J has 2 published instrument approaches, of which 1 are RNAV (GPS).

Which runway do instrument approaches serve at 09J?

Every published approach serves one runway end. There is no instrument procedure to the reciprocal direction, so an arrival in instrument conditions commits to that single approach direction regardless of the wind.

Is 09J a towered airport?

No — Jekyll Island has no control tower. Traffic co-ordinates on a common frequency rather than with a controller, which is listed in the frequencies table on this page.

Are these 09J charts current?

They are from the FAA cycle effective 6 August 2026, which is superseded on 3 September 2026. We publish each new cycle on its effective date. They are for flight simulation and reference only — not for real-world navigation.
