Approach coverage

KDRO’s single 9,201 ft runway has instrument procedures serving both ends, rather than concentrating coverage on one direction. The three approach charts collectively provide ILS and localiser options as well as two RNAV (GPS) approaches. This combines precision and localiser coverage with satellite-based procedures, while the airport diagram depicts the ground layout.

Coverage around Durango

Among nearby fields, Four Corners Regional has the broadest chart set, with Cortez Municipal and Telluride Regional also carrying more published material than KDRO. Stevens Field’s three-chart set is markedly thinner. The Denver Sectional adds the wider VFR context absent from airport-specific instrument procedures, placing KDRO within the surrounding visual chart framework.

Common questions about KDRO

What charts are available for KDRO?

6 current FAA charts for Durango-La Plata County, including 3 instrument approachs, 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 KDRO?

CTAF 122.8. 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 KDRO?

Durango-La Plata County has 1 runway. The longest is 03/21 at 9,201 ft by 150 ft, asphalt. Full runway dimensions, lighting and approach aids are listed on this page.

Does KDRO have an ILS approach?

Yes — 1 ILS procedure is published. In total KDRO has 3 published instrument approaches, of which 2 are RNAV (GPS).

Where can I download the KDRO airport diagram?

The official FAA airport diagram for Durango-La Plata County 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.

How high is KDRO?

The field elevation is 6,689 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 KDRO a towered airport?

No — Durango-La Plata County 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 KDRO 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They are from the FAA cycle effective 6 August 2026, which is superseded on 3 September 2026.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.
