Approach coverage

Colorado Plains Regional’s three approaches serve both ends of its sole runway. With two RNAV (GPS) procedures and one VOR procedure divided between those ends, at least one direction has more than one published approach option, and the set is not tied to a single navigation method. All instrument access nevertheless converges on the same 7,001 ft runway alignment. No separate airport diagram is published.

Wider chart context

Holyoke matches Colorado Plains Regional’s five-chart coverage, while Sterling, Fort Morgan and Wray have slightly thinner four-chart sets. Yuma has the narrowest nearby collection at three charts. The Cheyenne and Wichita sectionals add broader VFR geographic and airspace context beyond the terminal procedures.
