Coverage across both runways

Southwest Georgia Regional’s six approach procedures reach all four ends of its two-runway layout, rather than concentrating instrument access on a single alignment. The mix provides GPS coverage alongside ILS, localiser and VOR options, giving the set both precision and non-precision procedure types. Only runway 05/23 extends beyond 5,200 ft, so it is the sole alignment offering additional length above that threshold; runway 17/35 supplies a distinct second alignment.

Regional chart context

None of the listed nearby airports has comparably broad procedure coverage. Camilla-Mitchell County, Moultrie Municipal and Jimmy Carter Regional share the largest nearby chart sets, while Dawson Municipal has the thinnest. The Jacksonville Sectional adds wider visual-navigation context around Albany that the airport diagram and terminal procedures do not provide.
