Placerville’s instrument provision is concentrated on a single RNAV (GPS) approach serving only one end of runway 05/23. The reciprocal end therefore has no published instrument approach, while ground layout is not covered by a published FAA airport diagram. The 3,914 ft runway cannot meet any take-off or landing requirement above that length; the separate 50 ft helipad provides no second aeroplane runway.
Sacramento Mather has distinctly broader chart coverage than Placerville. Auburn Municipal and Lincoln Regional/Karl Harder Field are only modestly broader, while Westover Field Amador County and Mc Clellan Airfield have similarly thin sets. The San Francisco Sectional adds wider VFR context and the relationship to surrounding airports beyond the single instrument procedure.

3 current FAA charts for Placerville, including 1 instrument approach. All are free to download as PDFs from this page, from the 6 August 2026 cycle.
CTAF 122.8. Full civil VHF list, with sector notes, is in the frequencies table on this page — from the FAA NASR subscription.
Placerville has 2 runways. The longest is 05/23 at 3,914 ft by 76 ft, asphalt. Full runway dimensions, lighting and approach aids are listed on this page.
No ILS is published. In total KPVF has 1 published instrument approach, of which 1 are RNAV (GPS).
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.
No — Placerville 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.
