Approach coverage across all six runway ends

Piedmont Triad International’s 16 approach charts serve every end of its three runways, leaving no directional gap in the published instrument coverage. The mix includes ILS, RNAV (GPS), VOR and localiser procedures, with three ILS entries carrying CAT II/III minima. Aircraft requiring more than 6,380 feet are confined to the two parallel runways, which provide 9,000 and 10,001 feet.

Regional chart context

Smith Reynolds, 14 nm west, has 14 charts and is the nearest field with coverage approaching GSO’s breadth. The other listed airports have seven or fewer, with Meadow Brook Field’s two-chart set the thinnest. The Charlotte, Cincinnati and Washington sectionals add broader VFR planning context beyond the terminal procedures.
