Approach coverage

Palacios Municipal has three equal-length concrete runways, but published instrument approaches serve only one of the six runway ends. The RNAV (GPS) and VOR procedures provide two approach types to that end without extending instrument coverage to another alignment. Each runway is 5,001 ft long, so none offers additional length over the others.

Charts in the surrounding area

Calhoun County, with five charts, and Jackson County, with three, have coverage closest in scale to Palacios. Bay City Regional and Wharton Regional have much broader sets, at 17 and 15 charts respectively, while Victoria Regional sits between them with eight. The Houston Sectional supplies the wider VFR context absent from the instrument procedures, and the US Gulf Coast Helicopter Route Chart adds the specialised helicopter-route depiction covering the field.

How long is the runway at KPSX?

Which runway do instrument approaches serve at KPSX?

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 KPSX a towered airport?

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They are from the FAA cycle effective 6 August 2026, which is superseded on 3 September 2026.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