Approach coverage across both runways

Appleton International’s six approach plates serve all four ends of runways 03/21 and 12/30, avoiding concentration on a single alignment. Across the plates are two ILS, four RNAV (GPS) and two localiser procedures, combining precision coverage with satellite-based and localiser options. The 1,501 ft difference between the runways is significant: only 03/21 provides more than 6,502 ft of published runway length.

Regional chart context

KOSH and KGRB have comparably broad procedure collections, with 14 and 12 charts respectively. Coverage is much thinner at KPCZ, KCLI and 8D1. The Chicago and Green Bay sectional charts add wider geographic and visual context around Appleton beyond the airport-specific instrument procedures.
