Instrument coverage at Oroville

Both published approaches serve a single runway end, one using RNAV (GPS) and the other VOR guidance. This provides two instrument methods for the same arrival direction, but none for the other three runway ends. With no airport diagram, the procedure set is notably lean.

Runway and regional context

Any aircraft requiring more than 3,540 ft of runway is confined by length to Runway 02/20. Nearby chart coverage varies considerably: Beale AFB has the broadest set, Chico Regional and Yuba County also have larger collections, while Sidney Pickels Field and Willows/Glenn County are much closer to Oroville’s sparse coverage. The San Francisco sectional adds broader VFR context beyond the airport-specific instrument procedures.

How long is the runway at KOVE?

Which runway do instrument approaches serve at KOVE?

Every published approach serves one runway end. There is no instrument procedure to the reciprocal direction, so an arrival in instrument conditions commits to that single approach direction regardless of the wind.

Is KOVE a towered airport?

No — Oroville Muni 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 KOVE 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They are from the FAA cycle effective 6 August 2026, which is superseded on 3 September 2026.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.
