Instrument coverage

Los Alamos has a narrowly focused procedure set: both published approaches are RNAV (GPS) procedures serving the same end of runway 09/27. The opposite end therefore has no published instrument approach in this cycle. With no airport diagram, the chart set is centred on approach procedures and associated minimums rather than ground-layout detail. The single 6,000 ft runway also provides only one operating alignment.

Regional chart context

Nearby chart coverage varies sharply. Albuquerque International Sunport has by far the broadest set, while Santa Fe Regional and Double Eagle II also have substantially more procedures. Taos Regional is closer to Los Alamos in coverage, and Moriarty Municipal has an even thinner set. The Albuquerque and Denver sectional charts add the wider visual-navigation context not provided by the terminal procedures.

Common questions about KLAM

What charts are available for KLAM?

4 current FAA charts for Los Alamos, including 2 instrument approachs. All are free to download as PDFs from this page, from the 6 August 2026 cycle.

What are the radio frequencies for KLAM?

CTAF 123.0. Full civil VHF list, with sector notes, is in the frequencies table on this page — from the FAA NASR subscription.

How long is the runway at KLAM?

Los Alamos has 1 runway. The longest is 09/27 at 6,000 ft by 120 ft, asphalt. Full runway dimensions, lighting and approach aids are listed on this page.

Does KLAM have an ILS approach?

No ILS is published. In total KLAM has 2 published instrument approaches, of which 2 are RNAV (GPS).

Which runway do instrument approaches serve at KLAM?

Every published approach serves one runway end. There is no instrument procedure to the reciprocal direction, so an arrival in instrument conditions commits to that single approach direction regardless of the wind.

How high is KLAM?

The field elevation is 7,170 ft. At that height the air is thin enough to matter: take-off and landing distances are longer than the same aircraft would need at sea level, and the effect worsens as temperature rises. The approach charts carry the altitudes that apply.

Is KLAM a towered airport?

No — Los Alamos has no control tower. Traffic co-ordinates on a common frequency rather than with a controller, which is listed in the frequencies table on this page.

Are these KLAM 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They are from the FAA cycle effective 6 August 2026, which is superseded on 3 September 2026.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.

Wider chart sets

Bulk archives are a PRO benefit. Individual charts are free for everyone, always.
