Approach coverage

Waycross-Ware County’s five approach plates are concentrated on only two of its six runway ends. Two ILS and two RNAV (GPS) procedures sit alongside one VOR procedure, with localiser coverage listed for two approaches. This provides varied instrument coverage, but not for every available runway alignment. Two runways exceed 5,000 ft, while the 3,554 ft third runway offers a distinctly shorter alignment.

Regional chart context

None of the nearby fields has as many published charts. Homerville and Douglas Municipal come closest with five each; Brantley County and Baxley Municipal have the thinnest sets at three each, while Bacon County sits between them. The Jacksonville Sectional adds the broader VFR context around Waycross that the terminal procedures do not show.
