Approach and runway coverage

Dare County Regional’s three instrument approaches are all RNAV (GPS), serving three of the four runway ends. Instrument arrival coverage therefore extends to both runway alignments, although one end has no published approach this cycle. Runway 05/23 provides 1,003 ft more length than 17/35, so operations requiring more than 3,303 ft are confined to the longer alignment. The airport diagram complements the approach plates with the ground layout.

Chart context

Elizabeth City CG Air Station/Regional has the broadest nearby procedure set, with twice as many charts as Dare County Regional. First Flight and Currituck County Regional are closer in coverage, while Hyde County and Billy Mitchell have notably thinner sets. The Charlotte and Washington sectional charts add wider VFR context beyond the airport-specific terminal procedures.
