Instrument and runway coverage

Astronaut Kent Rominger has a tightly focused instrument set: its sole approach is RNAV (GPS) and serves only one of the airport’s four runway ends. Instrument arrivals therefore have just one published runway-end option. A published obstacle departure procedure covers departures, while there is no separate airport diagram.

For aircraft requiring pavement, runway 06/24 is the only choice, with 6,051 ft available; the shorter 03/21 provides a second alignment on turf. Nearby chart coverage ranges from the thinner set at Stevens Field to the broader collections at San Luis Valley Regional/Bergman Field and Gunnison-Crested Butte Regional. Monte Vista Municipal and Salida/Harriett Alexander Field are comparable to KRCV in overall chart volume. The Denver Sectional adds visual route-planning context beyond these terminal procedures.

Common questions about KRCV

What charts are available for KRCV?

4 current FAA charts for Astronaut Kent Rominger, including 1 instrument approach. All are free to download as PDFs from this page, from the 6 August 2026 cycle.

What are the radio frequencies for KRCV?

CTAF 122.9. Full civil VHF list, with sector notes, is in the frequencies table on this page — from the FAA NASR subscription.

How long is the runway at KRCV?

Astronaut Kent Rominger has 2 runways. The longest is 06/24 at 6,051 ft by 75 ft, asphalt. Full runway dimensions, lighting and approach aids are listed on this page.

Does KRCV have an ILS approach?

No ILS is published. In total KRCV has 1 published instrument approach, of which 1 are RNAV (GPS).

Which runway do instrument approaches serve at KRCV?

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.

How high is KRCV?

The field elevation is 7,955 ft. At that height the air is thin enough to matter: take-off and landing distances are longer than the same aircraft would need at sea level, and the effect worsens as temperature rises. The approach charts carry the altitudes that apply.

Is KRCV a towered airport?

No — Astronaut Kent Rominger 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 KRCV 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They are from the FAA cycle effective 6 August 2026, which is superseded on 3 September 2026.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.

Wider chart sets

Bulk archives are a PRO benefit. Individual charts are free for everyone, always.
