Approach and runway coverage

All eight ends of JFK’s four runways have published approach coverage. The mix includes ILS, RNAV (GPS), VOR and localiser procedures, plus a helicopter approach; three ILS procedures carry CAT II/III minima. Coverage is therefore spread across both runway alignments rather than concentrated on one preferred end. With no runway shorter than 8,400 ft and the longest extending to 14,511 ft, the runway system offers substantial length across several ends rather than relying on a single long strip.

Surrounding chart context

LaGuardia has chart coverage of similar breadth, while Newark Liberty’s set is larger. Teterboro and Republic have appreciably fewer charts, and Linden’s coverage is much thinner. The New York Sectional adds regional VFR context, the Terminal Area Chart provides closer terminal detail, and the Helicopter Route Chart supplies routing information specific to helicopter operations.

Where can I download the KJFK airport diagram?

The official FAA airport diagram for John F Kennedy Intl is free to download at the top of this page. It shows runways, taxiways, ramp layout and hold-short positions, and is reissued every 28 days.

Does KJFK have CAT II or CAT III approaches?

Yes. 3 of the published ILS procedures carry CAT II/III minima, which allow approaches in lower visibility than a standard CAT I ILS. Those plates are listed separately in the approach table above, marked CAT II or CAT III in the chart name.

Is KJFK a towered airport?

Yes. John F Kennedy Intl has an operating control tower, within New York Center's airspace. Tower, ground and clearance frequencies are listed on this page.

How many runways does KJFK have?

4, which is why the chart set is as large as it is — each runway end that supports an instrument approach needs its own plates. The runway diagram on this page shows the layout to scale.

Are these KJFK charts current?

They are from the FAA cycle effective 6 August 2026, which is superseded on 3 September 2026. We publish each new cycle on its effective date. They are for flight simulation and reference only — not for real-world navigation.
