Instrument coverage across every runway

Baltimore/Washington’s instrument coverage reaches all six runway ends, combining ILS, localiser and RNAV (GPS) procedures across the complete three-runway configuration. One ILS also carries CAT II/III minima, adding a specialised level of precision coverage. The runway layout is distinctly mixed in length: two strips exceed 9,500 ft, while 15L/33R is 5,000 ft, making the shorter parallel a materially different proposition from the other two.

Nearby and VFR chart context

Among nearby fields, Martin State stands apart with substantially broader procedure coverage; Fort Meade Executive, Lee, Freeway and College Park have much thinner chart sets. The Washington Sectional, Baltimore-Washington Terminal Area Chart and helicopter route chart add sectional, detailed terminal-area and helicopter-route perspectives beyond the instrument procedures.
