Limited instrument coverage

Apple Valley’s procedure set centres on a single RNAV (GPS) approach serving only one of its four runway ends. The other three ends have no published approach this cycle, and there is no airport diagram. An obstacle departure procedure complements the lone approach, but the overall instrument coverage remains narrow.

Runways and regional context

Runway 18/36 provides 2,398 ft more length than 08/26. A runway-length requirement above 4,100 ft therefore rules out 08/26, while 18/36 extends the available range to 6,498 ft. Nearby chart coverage runs from Redlands Municipal’s thinner set to San Bernardino International’s substantially broader one; Big Bear City is closest to Apple Valley in chart count. The Los Angeles Sectional adds regional VFR context beyond the airport-specific procedures.

How long is the runway at KAPV?

Which runway do instrument approaches serve at KAPV?

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.

Is KAPV a towered airport?

No — Apple Valley 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 KAPV 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They are from the FAA cycle effective 6 August 2026, which is superseded on 3 September 2026.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.
