Approach and runway coverage

Alexandria International’s six approach plates serve all four ends of its two runways, rather than concentrating instrument access on a single alignment. RNAV (GPS) predominates, supplemented by ILS, localiser and VOR options. The 9,352 ft Runway 14/32 provides substantially more available distance than the 7,001 ft Runway 18/36, while both alignments retain published approach coverage.

Regional chart context

Among nearby fields, MAKS AAF has the closest comparable volume of published procedures, followed by Esler Regional. Allen Parish has thinner coverage, while Bunkie Municipal and Marksville Municipal each have the smallest chart sets listed. The Houston Sectional adds the wider visual-navigation context that the airport diagram and terminal procedures do not show.
