Three runway ends with instrument coverage

Sanford Seacoast Regional’s five approach plates cover three of its four runway ends, leaving one direction without a published instrument approach. The mix includes ILS/localiser, RNAV (GPS) and VOR procedures rather than relying on a single approach type. Runway 07/25 provides 1,390 ft more length than 14/32, while the second runway adds another alignment.

Regional chart context

Nearby chart coverage varies markedly. Portland International Jetport has the broadest procedure set, followed by Portsmouth International at Pease; Biddeford Municipal’s coverage is much thinner, with Skyhaven and Laconia Municipal also carrying fewer charts than Sanford. The New York Sectional adds the wider VFR context absent from the terminal procedures.
