Centennial’s instrument coverage is selective: five approach plates serve only three of the six runway ends. The mix includes ILS, localiser and RNAV (GPS) procedures, while the much larger departure collection makes outbound routing the dominant feature of the chart set. The 10,001 ft and 7,001 ft parallel runways provide substantially more available length than the 4,800 ft cross-runway, so the runway choice changes the distance available considerably.
Rocky Mountain Metro has equally broad chart coverage, while Colorado Air and Space Port is close behind. Denver International has a much larger procedure set; Buckley Space Force Base is more limited, and Erie Municipal’s coverage is much thinner. The Denver Terminal Area Chart adds detailed VFR terminal-area context, while the Denver and Wichita sectionals extend that visual coverage across a wider area.

Tower 118.9; Ground 121.8; ATIS 120.3; UNICOM 122.95; Clearance delivery 128.6. Full civil VHF list, with sector notes, is in the frequencies table on this page — from the FAA NASR subscription.
Centennial has 4 runways. The longest is 17L/35R at 10,001 ft by 100 ft, asphalt. Full runway dimensions, lighting and approach aids are listed on this page.
Yes — 1 ILS procedure is published. In total KAPA has 5 published instrument approaches, of which 4 are RNAV (GPS).
The official FAA airport diagram for Centennial is free to download at the top of this page. It shows runways, taxiways, ramp layout and hold-short positions, and is reissued every 28 days.
The field elevation is 5,884 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.
Yes. Centennial has an operating control tower, within Denver Center's airspace. Tower, ground and clearance frequencies are listed on this page.
4, which is why the chart set is as large as it is — each runway end that supports an instrument approach needs its own plates. The runway diagram on this page shows the layout to scale.
