Instrument coverage

Roanoke/Blacksburg Regional has published approaches to three of its four runway ends, leaving one end without a charted instrument procedure. The mix is weighted towards RNAV (GPS), alongside ILS and localiser coverage, while four departure procedures give the set substantial outbound detail. The airport diagram supports ground planning across the two differently aligned runways.

Runways and surrounding coverage

Runway 06/24 provides 990 ft more length than 16/34, making the choice of runway materially relevant where available distance is a planning factor. Among nearby fields, Lynchburg Regional has the broadest chart coverage, approaching Roanoke’s range, while Virginia Tech/Montgomery Executive and New River Valley have smaller but still substantial sets. Smith Mountain Lake and New London are much more thinly covered. The Cincinnati Sectional adds broader VFR context beyond the terminal procedures.
