Instrument coverage concentrated on one runway end

Blythe has two runway alignments, with both runways extending beyond 5,800 ft, but its instrument chart set is narrowly focused. The RNAV (GPS) and VOR procedures both serve just one of the four runway ends. This gives that end two distinct approach methods while leaving the other three without a published approach.

Coverage beyond Blythe

Among nearby fields, Yuma MCAS/Yuma International has by far the broadest procedure set, while Laguna AAF is only slightly more extensively charted than Blythe. Avi Suquilla and Brawley Municipal have similarly compact coverage, and Cliff Hatfield Memorial has the thinnest set. The Los Angeles and Phoenix sectionals add wider VFR context that the airport-specific terminal procedures do not provide.

CTAF 122.8. Full civil VHF list, with sector notes, is in the frequencies table on this page — from the FAA NASR subscription.

How long is the runway at KBLH?

Blythe has 2 runways. The longest is 08/26 at 6,543 ft by 150 ft, asphalt. Full runway dimensions, lighting and approach aids are listed on this page.

Which runway do instrument approaches serve at KBLH?

Every published approach serves one runway end. There is no instrument procedure to the reciprocal direction, so an arrival in instrument conditions commits to that single approach direction regardless of the wind.

Is KBLH a towered airport?

No — Blythe has no control tower. Traffic co-ordinates on a common frequency rather than with a controller, which is listed in the frequencies table on this page.

Are these KBLH charts current?

They are from the FAA cycle effective 6 August 2026, which is superseded on 3 September 2026. We publish each new cycle on its effective date. They are for flight simulation and reference only — not for real-world navigation.
