Birmingham-Shuttlesworth’s procedure set serves all four runway ends rather than concentrating instrument access on one alignment. The mix of ILS, RNAV (GPS) and localiser procedures provides both satellite-based and ground-based options; two ILS procedures also publish CAT II/III minima. The crossed runways differ sharply in length: 06/24 extends to 12,007 ft, while 18/36 provides 7,099 ft, so available runway distance changes substantially between alignments.
Nearby procedure coverage is much thinner. Bessemer NTL has the broadest neighbouring set with five charts, while each other listed field has only three or four, against Birmingham-Shuttlesworth’s 18. The Atlanta Sectional adds the wider visual-navigation context around Birmingham, complementing the airport-specific diagram, departures and approaches.
