Instrument coverage

Southwest Washington Regional has a compact, one-sided procedure set: its sole instrument approach is RNAV (GPS) and serves only one end of runway 12/30. The reciprocal end therefore has no published approach, while the ODP provides separate departure guidance. No airport diagram is published.

Local chart context

Nearby Scappoose and Ed Carlson Memorial Field/South Lewis County have chart coverage comparable in scale, while Pearson Field and Chehalis-Centralia have slightly thinner sets. Portland International stands apart with far broader procedure coverage. For visual planning around Kelso, the Seattle Sectional supplies the wider regional picture, while the Seattle Terminal Area Chart adds more focused coverage of the surrounding terminal area.
