Approach and runway coverage

Both ends of Moffett Federal Airfield’s two parallel runways have published approaches, so the instrument coverage is not concentrated on a single landing direction. The mix includes ILS, localiser and RNAV (GPS) procedures, combining precision and satellite-based options. With each runway exceeding 8,000 ft, substantial runway length is available on either parallel, while the airport diagram clarifies their closely related designations.

Surrounding chart context

Norman Y Mineta San Jose International has by far the broadest nearby procedure set, while Palo Alto and San Carlos have much thinner coverage; Reid-Hillview and Hayward sit between those extremes. The San Francisco Terminal Area Chart adds detailed local VFR context, complemented by the wider-area view of the San Francisco Sectional.
