Instrument coverage across both runways

Roswell Air Center’s seven approach plates serve all four runway ends rather than concentrating instrument procedures on a single alignment. The mix includes GPS, VOR, localiser and ILS procedures, combining precision guidance on one approach with several non-precision options. With one runway extending 13,000 ft and the other 10,008 ft, both alignments provide substantial usable length rather than pairing a long runway with a markedly shorter strip. The airport diagram and hotspot chart add ground-layout detail.

Regional chart context

Cavern City Air Terminal has the closest comparable breadth of published procedures among the listed nearby fields, while Artesia Municipal and Sierra Blanca Regional have notably thinner chart sets. The Albuquerque Sectional adds wider-area VFR context beyond the terminal instrument procedures.
