Approach coverage across two alignments

Groton-New London’s six approach plates serve three of its four fixed-wing runway ends, spreading instrument coverage across both runway alignments rather than concentrating it on one end. The mix includes ILS and localiser coverage alongside RNAV (GPS) and VOR procedures, so the set is not dependent on a single procedure type. Runway 05/23 is 1,000 ft longer than 15/33; any fixed-wing operation requiring more than 4,000 ft is therefore confined to the longer alignment.

Nearby and VFR context

None of the listed nearby fields has equally broad chart coverage. Chester has the largest nearby set at six charts, while Elizabeth Field’s two-chart set is notably thinner. The New York Sectional supplies wider regional visual-navigation context, while the Boston Terminal Area Chart provides a more detailed terminal-area view around Groton and New London.
