KEKY’s four approach charts cover both ends of its sole runway, so instrument procedure coverage is not confined to one direction. The mix includes ILS and localiser guidance, two RNAV (GPS) approaches and a VOR approach. That provides several guidance methods despite the compact chart set. No airport diagram is published.
Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International has a substantially broader procedure library, while Shelby County and Merkel Field Sylacauga Municipal are closest to KEKY in chart count. Bibb County and Chilton County have thinner coverage. The Atlanta Sectional adds the wider visual and airspace context that the terminal procedure charts do not provide.
