Approach coverage is one-sided

Bowers Field’s four published approaches divide evenly between RNAV (GPS) and VOR procedures, but all serve a single end of runway 11/29. The practical distinction is therefore not runway alignment, but the choice between two navigation methods for the same arrival direction; the reciprocal end has no published instrument approach. With one 4,300 ft runway, every published instrument arrival ultimately uses the same strip.

Regional chart context

Yakima Air Terminal/McAllister Field and Grant County International have the broadest nearby procedure sets, while Pangborn Memorial has more coverage than Bowers Field but less than either of those airports. Ephrata Municipal is closest in scale, with a similarly thin set. The Seattle Sectional adds the wider visual-navigation context around Ellensburg that the instrument procedures do not provide.

Common questions about KELN

What charts are available for KELN?

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

What are the radio frequencies for KELN?

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 KELN?

Bowers Fld has 1 runway. The longest is 11/29 at 4,300 ft by 150 ft, concrete. Full runway dimensions, lighting and approach aids are listed on this page.

Does KELN have an ILS approach?

No ILS is published. In total KELN has 4 published instrument approaches, of which 2 are RNAV (GPS).

Which runway do instrument approaches serve at KELN?

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 KELN a towered airport?

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They are from the FAA cycle effective 6 August 2026, which is superseded on 3 September 2026.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

Wider chart sets

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