Approach and runway coverage

Somerset’s three approaches each serve a different runway end, leaving the other three ends without a published procedure. The two RNAV (GPS) procedures provide most of the approach coverage, supplemented by one VOR procedure. Aircraft requiring more than 2,739 ft cannot use any runway, while those restricted to paved surfaces are limited to Runway 12/30; both turf runways are under 2,000 ft.

Local chart context

Among nearby fields, Morristown Municipal has substantially broader procedure coverage. Central Jersey Regional is closest to Somerset’s chart total, while Solberg/Hunterdon and Sky Manor have much thinner sets. The New York Sectional supplies wider VFR context, the Terminal Area Chart adds more detailed terminal-area coverage, and the Helicopter Route Chart presents the published helicopter-route framework.
