Approach and runway coverage

Lovell Field’s procedure set serves all four ends of its two runways, with ILS, localiser and RNAV (GPS) options rather than concentrating instrument access on one alignment. One ILS includes CAT II/III minima, adding a lower-category precision procedure to the wider mix. The 7,400 ft runway provides the greater available length, while the 5,575 ft runway supplies a second alignment with less distance available.

Coverage beyond CHA

None of the listed nearby airports has comparably broad chart coverage. Dalton Municipal has the largest nearby set with five charts, while Marion County/Brown Field has only two; the others fall between those totals. The Atlanta Sectional adds the broader visual-navigation context around Chattanooga that the airport diagram and terminal procedures do not provide.
