Coverage across both runways

Whidbey Island NAS has published approaches to all four ends of its two-runway layout, so procedure coverage is not concentrated on a single arrival direction. The mix includes an ILS and a localiser alongside four RNAV (GPS) procedures, combining ground-based and satellite-based options. With both concrete runways almost exactly 8,000 ft long, the layout provides comparable length on two distinct alignments rather than a short secondary runway.

Local chart context

Among the nearby fields, Arlington Municipal has the broadest procedure set, although its seven charts remain much thinner than Whidbey Island’s coverage. DeLaurentis and Jefferson County International each have only three, while Skagit Regional and Friday Harbor have four apiece. The Seattle Sectional adds broader VFR route and visual-reference context beyond the terminal procedures.
