Approaches across both runways

Owensboro/Daviess County Regional’s approach set reaches all four runway ends rather than concentrating instrument access on one alignment. RNAV and VOR procedures make up most of the coverage, while ILS and localiser guidance broaden the ground-based mix. The two intersecting runways offer different alignments, but 18/36 is 3,000 ft longer than 06/24, so the second alignment does not provide equivalent runway distance.

Regional chart context

Evansville Regional, 25 nm north-west, has an equally broad published chart set. The other listed nearby fields have much thinner coverage, with only four or five charts each. The St Louis Sectional complements the terminal procedures with broader visual-reference and route-planning context around Owensboro.
