Approach and runway coverage

Montrose Regional’s procedure set serves three of its four runway ends, leaving one without a published approach. The five approach charts combine ILS and localiser guidance with RNAV (GPS) and VOR procedures, providing both precision and non-precision options. Two runway alignments are available, with the 10,000 ft runway offering 2,490 ft more length than the other. Published departure procedures and an obstacle departure procedure complement the arrival coverage.

Regional chart context

Grand Junction Regional has broader chart coverage, while Telluride Regional and Gunnison-Crested Butte Regional are the closest comparisons in overall depth. Blake Field and Hopkins Field have much thinner procedure sets. The Denver Sectional adds broad visual context around Montrose beyond the airport-specific terminal charts.

Common questions about KMTJ

What charts are available for KMTJ?

11 current FAA charts for Montrose Rgnl, including 5 instrument approachs, 2 departure procedures, 1 airport diagram. All are free to download as PDFs from this page, from the 6 August 2026 cycle.

What are the radio frequencies for KMTJ?

CTAF 122.8. Full civil VHF list, with sector notes, is in the frequencies table on this page — from the FAA NASR subscription.

How long is the runway at KMTJ?

Montrose Rgnl has 2 runways. The longest is 17/35 at 10,000 ft by 150 ft, asphalt. Full runway dimensions, lighting and approach aids are listed on this page.

Does KMTJ have an ILS approach?

Yes — 1 ILS procedure is published. In total KMTJ has 5 published instrument approaches, of which 3 are RNAV (GPS).

Where can I download the KMTJ airport diagram?

The official FAA airport diagram for Montrose Rgnl is free to download at the top of this page. It shows runways, taxiways, ramp layout and hold-short positions, and is reissued every 28 days.

How high is KMTJ?

The field elevation is 5,758 ft. At that height the air is thin enough to matter: take-off and landing distances are longer than the same aircraft would need at sea level, and the effect worsens as temperature rises. The approach charts carry the altitudes that apply.

Is KMTJ a towered airport?

No — Montrose Rgnl has no control tower. Traffic co-ordinates on a common frequency rather than with a controller, which is listed in the frequencies table on this page.

Are these KMTJ charts current?

They are from the FAA cycle effective 6 August 2026, which is superseded on 3 September 2026. We publish each new cycle on its effective date. They are for flight simulation and reference only — not for real-world navigation.
