Approach and runway coverage

Raleigh County Memorial’s five approach plates serve all four ends of its two runways, giving the procedure set unusually even directional coverage. RNAV (GPS) forms the main layer, supplemented by ILS and localiser options. Runway 01/19 provides 1,749 ft more length than 10/28, so the available runway distance changes substantially with the alignment in use.

Regional chart context

Mercer County has equally broad chart coverage, while Greenbrier Valley is close behind. Kee Field and Logan County have thinner sets, and Summersville’s is the most limited among the listed nearby airports. The Cincinnati Sectional adds broader visual-planning context beyond the airport-specific instrument procedures.
