Instrument coverage

Westover Field’s two IAP sheets support a single VOR approach type, serving only one end of Runway 01/19. There is no published instrument approach for the opposite end and no airport diagram. The 3,401 ft conventional runway makes available length a significant constraint for larger aircraft, while H1 provides a separate 50 ft helipad.

Nearby chart coverage

Calaveras County/Maury Rasmussen Field and Placerville have chart sets equal in size to Westover Field’s, while Lodi’s is thinner. Columbia has slightly broader coverage, and Sacramento Mather is substantially better represented with ten charts. The San Francisco Sectional adds the wider visual reference that this small, approach-focused terminal set does not provide.
