Approach coverage across both runways

Every end of Bradley International’s two runways is served by an instrument approach. The mix of ILS, RNAV (GPS) and localiser procedures provides more than one form of guidance across the field, while one ILS carries CAT II/III minima. Runway 06/24 is 2,663 ft longer than 15/33, making the runway assignment significant for aircraft requiring more than 6,847 ft.

Regional chart context

Among nearby fields, Westfield-Barnes Regional has the closest breadth of published chart coverage, followed by Westover and Hartford-Brainard. Robertson Field and Northampton have much thinner procedure sets. The New York Sectional adds the wider visual context that the terminal procedure charts do not provide.
