Approach coverage concentrated on one runway end

All three approach plates serve a single runway end, concentrating instrument access on one direction despite the two runway alignments. The set encompasses ILS and localiser guidance, RNAV (GPS) and VOR procedures. Runway 02/20 provides 5,503 ft, while the 3,837 ft Runway 12/30 offers a markedly shorter option on the crossing alignment.

Regional chart context

Nearby procedure coverage varies sharply. Sacramento International has the broadest set, while Sacramento Mather is closer to Sacramento Executive’s scale of coverage. Mc Clellan Airfield, University and Yolo County have much thinner chart sets. The San Francisco Sectional adds broad-area VFR context beyond the airport diagram and terminal procedures.
