Approach coverage and runways

Instrument coverage is concentrated on two of Pike County/Hatcher Field’s four runway ends. It combines ILS and localiser capability with two RNAV (GPS) approaches, leaving the other two ends without a published approach. Runway 09/27 provides the greater usable length; any aircraft requiring more than 3,455 ft is excluded from runway 02/20. No separate airport diagram is published.

Local chart context

Lonesome Pine and Wendell H Ford have chart sets matching Pike County/Hatcher Field in overall breadth. Big Sandy Regional and Logan County are slightly thinner, while Southern West Virginia Regional has the smallest nearby set. The Cincinnati Sectional adds the broader VFR geographical and airspace context not supplied by the terminal procedures.
