At Meadows Field, published approaches reach all four ends of the parallel runway pair, rather than concentrating instrument coverage on one direction or strip. RNAV (GPS) predominates, supplemented by ILS, localiser and VOR options. The runway lengths differ by 3,149 ft; for an aircraft requiring more than 7,700 ft of available runway, only 12L/30R can meet that basic length threshold.
Every listed nearby field has markedly thinner procedure coverage. Porterville Municipal has the fullest of those smaller chart sets, while Mefford Field has the thinnest. The Las Vegas and Los Angeles sectionals add broader VFR context beyond the airport diagram and procedure-specific instrument charts.
