Instrument coverage

Palatka’s instrument coverage is tightly focused: two RNAV (GPS) approaches serve two runway ends, so the published arrival options are GPS-based and do not extend across every end of the two-runway layout. With no airport diagram published, the procedure set also lacks a dedicated plan view of the runway arrangement.

Runways and regional context

Runway 09/27 offers 6,000 ft, while 17/35 is 2,196 ft shorter; using the second alignment therefore brings a substantial reduction in available runway length. Nearby chart coverage ranges from three charts at Keystone Heights to 15 at Jacksonville NAS, with St Augustine, Flagler Executive and Gainesville Regional occupying the middle ground. The Jacksonville Sectional adds regional visual-navigation context beyond the airport-specific instrument procedures.
