Procedure coverage at Central Colorado Regional

Central Colorado Regional’s instrument coverage centres on a single RNAV (GPS) approach to one end of Runway 15/33. The reciprocal end has no published approach, so the procedure set does not provide equivalent instrument access in both directions. An obstacle departure procedure and published minima complement that lone arrival procedure. With one 8,303 ft runway, all operations share a single alignment.

Wider chart context

Fremont County has similarly thin chart coverage, while Salida and Lake County publish only slightly broader sets. Gunnison-Crested Butte has more, and Aspen-Pitkin County/Sardy Field has by far the broadest coverage among the nearby airports listed. The Denver Sectional adds visual airspace and landmark context beyond the airport-specific instrument procedures.

Common questions about KAEJ

What charts are available for KAEJ?

3 current FAA charts for Central Colorado Rgnl, 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 KAEJ?

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 KAEJ?

Central Colorado Rgnl has 1 runway. The longest is 15/33 at 8,303 ft by 75 ft, asphalt. Full runway dimensions, lighting and approach aids are listed on this page.

Does KAEJ have an ILS approach?

No ILS is published. In total KAEJ has 1 published instrument approach, of which 1 are RNAV (GPS).

Which runway do instrument approaches serve at KAEJ?

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.

How high is KAEJ?

The field elevation is 7,950 ft. At that height the air is thin enough to matter: take-off and landing distances are longer than the same aircraft would need at sea level, and the effect worsens as temperature rises. The approach charts carry the altitudes that apply.

Is KAEJ a towered airport?

No — Central Colorado Rgnl 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 KAEJ 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They are from the FAA cycle effective 6 August 2026, which is superseded on 3 September 2026.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.
