Selective GPS approach coverage

Caribou’s two published approaches are both RNAV (GPS) procedures and serve only two of the airport’s four runway ends. Instrument coverage is therefore limited to selected directions rather than every available alignment. No runway exceeds 4,003 ft, and the second runway is 987 ft shorter, a material reduction where available length governs aircraft use.

Nearby chart coverage

Presque Isle International has the broadest nearby procedure set, while Houlton International is only modestly broader than Caribou. Northern Aroostook Regional matches Caribou’s chart count, so its published coverage is comparably compact. The Halifax Sectional adds the wider visual aviation context not provided by the airport’s runway-end-specific instrument procedures.
