Approach coverage

Keesler AFB’s single 7,630 ft runway has published approaches to both ends, so instrument coverage is not confined to one direction. The seven approach charts include an ILS, a localiser procedure and two RNAV (GPS) approaches, providing both ground-based and satellite-based options. With no second runway, however, every procedure leads back to the same 04/22 alignment.

Regional chart context

Gulfport-Biloxi International has the broadest nearby procedure set, with twice Keesler’s total chart coverage. Trent Lott International and Stennis International have chart sets closer in scale to Keesler’s, while Dean Griffin Memorial and St Elmo are much more thinly covered. Beyond the instrument procedures, the New Orleans Sectional supplies wider VFR context, and the US Gulf Coast Helicopter Route Chart adds helicopter-specific routing information.
