Procedure coverage

At Columbia Gorge Regional/The Dalles Municipal, all published approach service is concentrated on one of the four runway ends. The approach set covers RNAV (GPS) and helicopter procedures, leaving the remaining ends without a published approach. A single obstacle departure procedure provides the departure-specific element, while no dedicated airport diagram is published.

Runways and nearby coverage

Runway 13/31 is only 450 ft longer than 07/25, so the two alignments are relatively close in available length rather than being divided into a primary strip and a much shorter secondary one. KTTD has a slightly broader chart set of comparable scale, while S33’s coverage is thinner. The Seattle Sectional adds wider VFR context beyond the terminal procedures.

Which runway do instrument approaches serve at KDLS?

Is KDLS a towered airport?

No — Columbia Gorge Rgnl/The Dalles Muni has no control tower. Traffic co-ordinates on a common frequency rather than with a controller, which is listed in the frequencies table on this page.

Are these KDLS 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They are from the FAA cycle effective 6 August 2026, which is superseded on 3 September 2026.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.
