Procedure coverage

Taos Regional’s instrument coverage is concentrated on two of its four runway ends. Three published approaches provide two RNAV (GPS) procedures and one VOR option, leaving the other two ends without an approach. The two-runway layout also offers markedly different available lengths: choosing the longer alignment adds 3,096 ft compared with Runway 04/22. The airport diagram supplies the corresponding ground-layout detail.

Regional chart context

Among nearby airports, Santa Fe Regional has substantially broader procedure coverage, while Las Vegas Municipal matches Taos with six charts. Angel Fire has the thinnest set, with Los Alamos and Raton Municipal/Crews Field only slightly broader. The Denver Sectional adds the wider visual-navigation context around Taos that the terminal procedure charts do not provide.

Common questions about KSKX

What charts are available for KSKX?

6 current FAA charts for Taos Rgnl, including 3 instrument approachs, 1 airport diagram. All are free to download as PDFs from this page, from the 6 August 2026 cycle.

What are the radio frequencies for KSKX?

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 KSKX?

Taos Rgnl has 2 runways. The longest is 13/31 at 8,600 ft by 100 ft, concrete. Full runway dimensions, lighting and approach aids are listed on this page.

Does KSKX have an ILS approach?

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

Where can I download the KSKX airport diagram?

The official FAA airport diagram for Taos Rgnl is free to download at the top of this page. It shows runways, taxiways, ramp layout and hold-short positions, and is reissued every 28 days.

How high is KSKX?

The field elevation is 7,094 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 KSKX a towered airport?

No — Taos Rgnl 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 KSKX 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They are from the FAA cycle effective 6 August 2026, which is superseded on 3 September 2026.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.

Wider chart sets

Bulk archives are a PRO benefit. Individual charts are free for everyone, always.
