Instrument coverage at Portsmouth

Portsmouth’s single 11,322 ft runway has published approaches to both ends, so neither direction is left without instrument procedure coverage. The four approach plates provide ILS and RNAV (GPS) options, with localiser procedures also represented. That is a varied set for one runway, while the two departure procedures extend the terminal coverage beyond arrivals. The runway’s length provides substantial distance for aircraft with longer take-off or landing requirements, although there is no alternative runway alignment.

Coverage around the field

Manchester Boston Regional and Lawrence Municipal have broader chart collections, while Sanford Seacoast Regional is somewhat thinner. Skyhaven and Biddeford Municipal have markedly smaller sets. The New York Sectional adds wider-area VFR context beyond the airport diagram and terminal procedures.
