Instrument coverage

Lake County’s procedure set is strongly asymmetric: its sole instrument approach is RNAV (GPS) and serves only one end of runway 16/34. The two obstacle departure procedures give departures more coverage than arrivals, while no airport diagram is published. Fixed-wing operations have a single 6,400-ft runway alignment; at a field elevation of 9,933 ft, that length cannot be considered apart from the effect of elevation on aircraft performance.

Nearby chart coverage

Aspen-Pitkin County/Sardy Field and Eagle County Regional have much broader chart sets, with 16 and 14 respectively. Central Colorado Regional, Salida/Harriett Alexander Field and Mc Elroy Airfield are comparably thin, with three to five charts each. The Denver Sectional adds wider-area VFR context not provided by the terminal procedures.

Common questions about KLXV

What charts are available for KLXV?

5 current FAA charts for Lake County, including 1 instrument approach. All are free to download as PDFs from this page, from the 6 August 2026 cycle.

What are the radio frequencies for KLXV?

CTAF 122.8. 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 KLXV?

Lake County has 2 runways. The longest is 16/34 at 6,400 ft by 75 ft, asphalt. Full runway dimensions, lighting and approach aids are listed on this page.

Does KLXV have an ILS approach?

No ILS is published. In total KLXV has 1 published instrument approach, of which 1 are RNAV (GPS).

Which runway do instrument approaches serve at KLXV?

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 KLXV?

The field elevation is 9,933 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 KLXV a towered airport?

No — Lake County 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 KLXV 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They are from the FAA cycle effective 6 August 2026, which is superseded on 3 September 2026.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.
