Approach coverage

At Steamboat Springs/Bob Adams Field, all three published approaches serve a single end of runway 14/32. Two are RNAV (GPS) procedures and one is VOR, providing two forms of instrument guidance but no published approach to the opposite end. With one 4,452 ft runway and no airport diagram, the chart set offers neither an alternative runway alignment nor a separate layout sheet.

Surrounding chart coverage

Yampa Valley has the broadest nearby procedure set, followed by Dixon. Craig-Moffat and Mc Elroy Airfield match Steamboat Springs/Bob Adams Field in chart count, while Walden-Jackson County is slightly thinner. The Cheyenne Sectional adds the wider visual-navigation context that the airport’s approach and minimums sheets do not provide.

Common questions about KSBS

What charts are available for KSBS?

5 current FAA charts for Steamboat Springs/Bob Adams Fld, including 3 instrument approachs. All are free to download as PDFs from this page, from the 6 August 2026 cycle.

What are the radio frequencies for KSBS?

CTAF 122.8. 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 KSBS?

Steamboat Springs/Bob Adams Fld has 1 runway. The longest is 14/32 at 4,452 ft by 100 ft, asphalt. Full runway dimensions, lighting and approach aids are listed on this page.

Does KSBS have an ILS approach?

No ILS is published. In total KSBS has 3 published instrument approaches, of which 2 are RNAV (GPS).

Which runway do instrument approaches serve at KSBS?

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 KSBS?

The field elevation is 6,882 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 KSBS a towered airport?

No — Steamboat Springs/Bob Adams Fld 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 KSBS 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They are from the FAA cycle effective 6 August 2026, which is superseded on 3 September 2026.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.
