Instrument coverage across the layout

Five of KCOS’s six runway ends are served by an instrument approach, spreading coverage across the three-runway layout rather than concentrating it on one alignment. The mix includes ILS, RNAV (GPS), localiser, VOR and NDB procedures, with CAT II/III minima published for one ILS. The two 17/35 runways provide parallel lengths of 13,500 ft and 11,022 ft, while the 8,270 ft runway adds the separate 13/31 alignment.

Regional chart context

Centennial has a substantially broader procedure set, while Pueblo Memorial is closer to KCOS in chart coverage but remains smaller. Meadow Lake, Fremont County and Butts AAF have much thinner published sets. The Denver and Wichita sectional charts add wider VFR context beyond the airport-specific terminal procedures.

Common questions about KCOS

What charts are available for KCOS?

24 current FAA charts for City Of Colorado Springs Muni, including 16 instrument approachs, 2 departure procedures, 2 arrival procedures, 1 airport diagram. All are free to download as PDFs from this page, from the 6 August 2026 cycle.

What are the radio frequencies for KCOS?

Tower 119.9, 133.15; Ground 121.7; ATIS 125.0; UNICOM 122.95; Clearance delivery 134.45. 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 KCOS?

City Of Colorado Springs Muni has 3 runways. The longest is 17L/35R at 13,500 ft by 150 ft, concrete. Full runway dimensions, lighting and approach aids are listed on this page.

Does KCOS have an ILS approach?

Yes — 5 ILS procedures are published, including CAT II/III minima. In total KCOS has 16 published instrument approaches, of which 9 are RNAV (GPS).

Where can I download the KCOS airport diagram?

The official FAA airport diagram for City Of Colorado Springs Muni is free to download at the top of this page. It shows runways, taxiways, ramp layout and hold-short positions, and is reissued every 28 days.

Does KCOS have CAT II or CAT III approaches?

Yes. 1 of the published ILS procedures carry CAT II/III minima, which allow approaches in lower visibility than a standard CAT I ILS. Those plates are listed separately in the approach table above, marked CAT II or CAT III in the chart name.

How high is KCOS?

The field elevation is 6,187 ft. At that height the air is thin enough to matter: take-off and landing distances are longer than the same aircraft would need at sea level, and the effect worsens as temperature rises. The approach charts carry the altitudes that apply.

Is KCOS a towered airport?

Yes. City Of Colorado Springs Muni has an operating control tower, within Denver Center's airspace. Tower, ground and clearance frequencies are listed on this page.

Are these KCOS 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.
