Approach coverage

Needles has two published approaches—one RNAV (GPS) and one VOR—but both serve the same runway end. Instrument coverage is therefore concentrated on a single arrival direction; neither the opposite end nor either end of the other runway has a published approach this cycle. The procedure set also lacks an airport diagram for the two-runway layout.

Runways and regional context

Runway 11/29 provides 770 ft more length than 02/20, so the available distance changes materially with runway alignment. Nearby chart coverage is broadly comparable at Lake Havasu City and Laughlin/Bullhead International, broader at Kingman, and thinner at Avi Suquilla. The Los Angeles and Phoenix sectionals add VFR regional context beyond the approach and minimums material.

Common questions about KEED

What charts are available for KEED?

4 current FAA charts for Needles, including 2 instrument approachs. All are free to download as PDFs from this page, from the 6 August 2026 cycle.

What are the radio frequencies for KEED?

CTAF 123.0. 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 KEED?

Needles has 2 runways. The longest is 11/29 at 5,005 ft by 100 ft, asphalt. Full runway dimensions, lighting and approach aids are listed on this page.

Does KEED have an ILS approach?

No ILS is published. In total KEED has 2 published instrument approaches, of which 1 are RNAV (GPS).

Which runway do instrument approaches serve at KEED?

Every published approach serves one runway end. There is no instrument procedure to the reciprocal direction, so an arrival in instrument conditions commits to that single approach direction regardless of the wind.

Is KEED a towered airport?

No — Needles 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 KEED 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They are from the FAA cycle effective 6 August 2026, which is superseded on 3 September 2026.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.

Bulk archives are a PRO benefit. Individual charts are free for everyone, always.
