Procedure coverage

Mount Airy/Surry County’s instrument coverage is tightly focused: one RNAV (GPS) approach serves each end of runway 18/36. Both available directions therefore have a published GPS procedure rather than coverage being concentrated on one end. With a single 5,500 ft runway, no second runway alignment appears in the procedure set. The airport diagram adds a ground-layout reference alongside the approaches and published minima material.

Nearby chart context

Blue Ridge matches Mount Airy/Surry County’s total chart count, while Twin County is close behind. Elkin Municipal and Meadow Brook Field have thinner sets; Smith Reynolds has markedly broader chart coverage than the other nearby fields. The Cincinnati Sectional supplies the wider VFR context around Mount Airy that these airport-specific terminal charts do not show.
