Approach coverage across every runway end

Charlotte/Douglas has three runways and all six ends are served by published approaches. ILS procedures dominate the mix, including four supporting CAT II/III operations, while RNAV (GPS) and localiser procedures add further coverage. Departures outnumber approach charts, and the equally substantial arrival set gives the collection a strong emphasis on published routing into and out of the field. Every runway exceeds 8,600 ft, so the configuration does not rely on a short secondary strip.

Nearby and VFR coverage

The five nearby procedure-equipped airports form a closely grouped second tier of 22–24 charts. Lincoln County Regional has the broadest set and Gastonia Municipal the thinnest, though the difference is small. Two sectionals provide regional VFR context, while the Charlotte Terminal Area Chart adds more detailed terminal-area coverage.
