Approach coverage across all three runways

Michael J Smith Field has an RNAV (GPS) approach to every end of its three runways, giving balanced instrument coverage across all six alignments. No other approach type is published. Runway 08/26 provides roughly 800 to 1,000 ft more length than either 03/21 or 14/32, making the available runway length materially different between alignments.

Coverage around Beaufort

Cherry Point and New River have broader procedure sets, while Coastal Carolina Regional and Albert J Ellis are closer to Michael J Smith Field in chart coverage. Ocracoke Island’s set is much thinner. The Charlotte Sectional supplies the wider visual-planning and geographical context that the airport-specific instrument procedures do not provide.
