Instrument coverage

Franklin County State has RNAV (GPS) coverage for both ends of runway 18/36, so the procedure set is balanced between the two landing directions rather than concentrated on one end. No other approach type is published. With a single 4,001 ft runway, changing direction does not provide an alternative strip, and the available length remains the central runway constraint.

Nearby chart coverage

Patrick Leahy Burlington International has a substantially broader procedure set. Plattsburgh International is only slightly broader, while Morrisville-Stowe State and Edward F Knapp State have chart sets of similar size to Franklin County State; Northeast Kingdom International is thinner. The Montreal Sectional adds the surrounding visual aviation context absent from the airport diagram and instrument procedures.
