Merced Yosemite Regional’s four approach plates serve both ends of its sole 5,914 ft runway, so the procedure set does not favour one direction. The mix includes ILS, RNAV (GPS) and localiser options, providing both satellite-based and ground-based approach coverage. With no airport diagram published, the cycle is compact: approach plates and the minima publication comprise the entire set.
Castle has the broadest nearby procedure set, exceeding Merced’s coverage, while Madera Municipal has a comparably sized collection. Los Banos Municipal is thinner, and Turlock Municipal and Firebaugh each have only two charts. The San Francisco Sectional adds wider visual aviation context beyond the airport-specific instrument procedures.
