Approaches across both runway alignments

Lehigh Valley International’s approach coverage reaches all four runway ends, so neither runway alignment is omitted from the instrument set. ILS and RNAV (GPS) procedures are equally represented, with localiser procedures adding further coverage. The 7,599 ft runway provides 1,799 ft more length than the second alignment, making the available runway length notably different between the two.

Nearby and VFR chart coverage

None of the listed nearby airports has comparably broad procedure coverage: each has only two to four charts, against ABE’s 12. The New York Sectional supplies wider-area VFR context, while the New York Terminal Area Chart provides the more focused terminal-area depiction absent from the airport diagram and instrument procedures.
