Approach coverage across both runways

At Key Field, published approaches serve all four runway ends, so instrument coverage is not confined to one alignment. The mix spans ILS, RNAV (GPS), VOR and localiser procedures, combining precision and non-precision options. Runway 01/19 provides almost twice the length of 04/22, making the choice of alignment a material change in available runway distance rather than merely a directional alternative.

Coverage around Meridian

Meridian NAS has a comparably broad terminal chart set, while the other nearby airports have substantially thinner coverage; Joe Williams NOLF is the most limited, with only a single published chart. The Atlanta and Memphis sectional charts add broader visual-navigation context beyond the airport-specific terminal procedures, with Key Field appearing on both sheets.
