Procedure coverage

San Gabriel Valley has a compact instrument set: one RNAV (GPS) approach and one VOR approach, providing two distinct navigation methods without multiple procedure variants. Both feed a single 3,995 ft runway, so there is no second runway alignment within the published layout. The airport diagram and separate hot-spot sheet add ground-movement detail to the arrival procedures.

Wider chart context

Brackett Field and Fullerton Municipal have broadly comparable chart coverage, while Long Beach and Bob Hope have substantially larger procedure sets. Cable’s coverage is much thinner. The Los Angeles Sectional and Terminal Area Chart place San Gabriel Valley within the broader VFR picture beyond its airport-specific procedures, while the Los Angeles Helicopter Route Chart adds the published helicopter-routing context.
