Approach and runway coverage

James M Cox Dayton International has published approach coverage for all six ends of its three runways. The mix of ILS, RNAV (GPS) and localiser procedures provides more than one form of guidance across the field, while one ILS includes CAT II/III minima. The parallel 06/24 runways differ substantially in length, and the 18/36 runway adds a separate alignment; the 10,901 ft 06L/24R is the longest available strip.

Surrounding chart context

Among nearby fields, Wright-Patterson AFB has the only similarly broad procedure set, with 13 charts. The other listed airports have much thinner coverage, each publishing between two and four. Three sectional charts place Dayton within wider VFR coverage, while the Cincinnati Terminal Area Chart adds more focused detail around the terminal area.
