Instrument procedure coverage

Barksdale AFB’s procedure set is concentrated on both ends of its sole runway. Twelve approach plates provide ILS, localiser and VOR options, with Runway 15 and Runway 33 each served rather than one direction lacking a published approach. Six ILS and six localiser entries make those procedure types the core of the set, while two VOR approaches add another form of guidance. The 11,758 ft runway provides substantial available distance, but there is no second runway alignment.

Surrounding chart coverage

Shreveport Regional, with 12 published charts, has the nearest comparably broad procedure set. Shreveport Downtown’s eight charts form a smaller collection, while Minden and the two more distant listed fields have markedly thinner coverage. The Memphis Sectional adds the broader visual-navigation context that airport-specific terminal procedures do not provide.
