Limited instrument coverage

Welsh has a single VOR approach serving only one of its four runway ends. Instrument procedure coverage is therefore concentrated on one arrival direction, with no published approach for the remaining ends and no airport diagram. The 2,700 ft asphalt runway provides the greatest available runway length; the crossing 2,200 ft turf runway adds another alignment but less distance.

Nearby chart coverage and VFR context

Nearby procedure coverage is broader at every listed field. Lake Charles Regional has the largest chart set, followed by Chennault International, while Jennings, Southland Field and Eunice have smaller collections that still exceed Welsh’s limited set. The Houston Sectional supplies the wider VFR aeronautical context absent from the instrument charts, while the US Gulf Coast Helicopter Route Chart adds the area’s published helicopter-route depiction.

Common questions about 6R1

What charts are available for 6R1?

2 current FAA charts for Welsh, including 1 instrument approach. All are free to download as PDFs from this page, from the 6 August 2026 cycle.

What are the radio frequencies for 6R1?

CTAF 122.8. 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 6R1?

Welsh has 2 runways. The longest is 07/25 at 2,700 ft by 50 ft, asphalt. Full runway dimensions, lighting and approach aids are listed on this page.

Does 6R1 have an ILS approach?

No ILS is published. In total 6R1 has 1 published instrument approach.

Which runway do instrument approaches serve at 6R1?

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 6R1 a towered airport?

No — Welsh 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 6R1 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They are from the FAA cycle effective 6 August 2026, which is superseded on 3 September 2026.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.

Wider chart sets

Bulk archives are a PRO benefit. Individual charts are free for everyone, always.
