Approach and runway coverage

Natchitoches Regional’s four approaches serve two runway ends rather than concentrating instrument access on one direction. Two RNAV (GPS) procedures sit alongside a localiser and an NDB approach, giving the chart set both satellite-based and conventional options. Runway 17/35, at 5,003 ft, provides 1,003 ft more available length than 07/25, while the crossing configuration supplies two distinct alignments.

Wider chart context

Published chart coverage at every listed nearby field is markedly thinner: The Red River has two charts, while Hart, David G Joyce, Jonesboro and Leesville each have three, compared with six for Natchitoches Regional. The Houston and Memphis sectional charts add broader VFR context beyond the airport-specific instrument procedures.
