Procedure coverage

Fort Smith Regional has published approaches to three of its four runway ends, leaving one end without a procedure of its own. The combination of ILS, RNAV (GPS), VOR and localiser procedures provides several forms of instrument guidance rather than reliance on a single approach type. Its 9,318 ft runway offers substantially more landing and take-off distance than the 5,001 ft cross-runway, which provides a second alignment with less available length.

Nearby chart coverage

Among the listed nearby fields, Drake Field has the broadest procedure set, although it remains notably thinner than Fort Smith’s. Sallisaw Municipal, Robert S Kerr, Ozark/Franklin County and Stigler Regional have only small chart collections by comparison. The Memphis Sectional adds the wider visual-navigation context not shown by the airport diagram and terminal procedures.
