Procedure coverage across both runways

Lewiston/Nez Perce County has instrument approaches serving all four runway ends, so procedure coverage is not restricted to one alignment. Seven of the eight approaches are RNAV (GPS), making the set predominantly satellite-based, while the single ILS provides a precision approach option. Runway 08/26 is 1,508 ft longer than 12/30, giving the airport a distinctly longer runway on one of its two alignments.

Regional chart context

Among nearby fields, Walla Walla Regional and Pullman/Moscow Regional have chart collections closest in breadth to LWS, while Idaho County’s five-chart set is notably thinner. The Great Falls and Seattle sectional charts add broader VFR coverage around Lewiston beyond the airport-specific terminal procedures.
