Instrument coverage across both runways

All four runway ends at Salisbury-Ocean City Wicomico Rgnl have a published approach. The five approach plates collectively provide four RNAV (GPS) procedures alongside ILS and localiser coverage, so the chart set is not concentrated on a single alignment. Runway 14/32 is 1,400 ft longer than 05/23; any operation requiring more than 5,000 ft is therefore confined to that alignment.

Coverage around Salisbury

Wallops Flight Facility has a broader published chart set, while Delaware Coastal and Ocean City Municipal are closer to KSBY’s level of coverage. Laurel and Crisfield-Somerset County have much thinner sets. The Washington Sectional adds the wider visual-navigation context around Salisbury that the airport diagram and terminal procedures do not provide.
