Both ends of Mercer County’s sole runway are represented in the procedure set, so instrument coverage is not confined to one direction. The mix places a precision ILS and localiser alongside RNAV (GPS) procedures, providing ground-based and satellite-guided options within a compact three-plate approach set. With only one 4,743 ft runway, every published approach ultimately serves the same strip rather than a second runway alignment.
Nearby chart coverage is strongest at Raleigh County Memorial, matching Mercer County’s seven-chart set, while New River Valley is close behind. Kee Field and Mountain Empire have the thinnest published sets among the listed neighbours, with Tazewell County between them and the better-covered fields. The Cincinnati Sectional adds the wider VFR context that terminal procedure charts do not provide.
