Approach and runway coverage

Knox County Regional’s four approach plates cover three of its four runway ends, leaving one end without a published instrument procedure. Three RNAV (GPS) approaches sit alongside ILS and localiser capability, giving the set both satellite-based and ground-based guidance. The crossing-runway layout provides two alignments, while runway 13/31 is 1,412 ft longer than 03/21; by length alone, it places fewer constraints on aircraft choice.

Regional chart context

Augusta State matches Knox County Regional’s six-chart coverage, while Brunswick Executive and Waterville Regional are close behind with five each. Belfast Municipal has the thinnest nearby set at three charts. The Halifax, Montreal and New York sectionals add broader VFR geographic context beyond the terminal procedures.
