All eight runway ends at Frederick W Smith International/Memphis have published approaches. The mix of ILS, RNAV (GPS) and localiser procedures gives each of the four runways instrument coverage, while three ILS procedures include CAT II/III minima. The chart set is notably departure-heavy, with substantially more departure procedures than approach plates and a further group of arrival procedures.
Three parallel north–south runways are complemented by runway 09/27. All four are close to or above 9,000 ft, with 18C/36C extending beyond 11,000 ft, so the procedure set supports several long runway alignments rather than concentrating on a single strip.
None of the listed nearby fields has comparable procedure coverage. Olive Branch/Taylor Field and Millington/Memphis have the broadest sets among them, while General DeWitt Spain has the thinnest. The Memphis Sectional supplies wider visual-planning context; the Terminal Area Chart provides a more detailed view around Memphis.
