Instrument coverage on both ends

Gray AAF’s instrument coverage is weighted towards arrivals, with three approach plates against one departure procedure. The approaches serve both ends of runway 15/33 and combine RNAV (GPS) procedures with ILS and localiser guidance, providing multiple guidance methods across the two directions. The 6,124 ft runway supplies the field’s sole conventional alignment; H2, H3 and H4 are each 100 ft, marking out compact helicopter positions rather than additional fixed-wing runway alignments.

Coverage around Gray AAF

Nearby chart coverage varies sharply. McChord Field has by far the broadest set, while Tacoma Narrows and Olympia Regional are closest to Gray AAF in overall chart volume. Pierce County/Thun Field and Auburn Municipal have much thinner collections. The Seattle Sectional adds wider visual context beyond the airport-specific terminal procedures.
