Sumter’s approach coverage is compact but not confined to one direction: two runway ends are served. The mix combines an ILS/localiser option with two RNAV (GPS) procedures, providing both ground-based and satellite-based guidance. The runway dimensions create a clear distinction: 5,501 ft asphalt 05/23 is the only listed choice for operations needing pavement or more than 3,081 ft, while turf 14/32 adds a shorter second alignment.
Nearby chart coverage ranges from Shaw AFB’s substantially broader set to the much thinner coverage at Santee Cooper Regional. Woodward Field matches Sumter’s chart total, while Mc Entire JNGB is somewhat broader and Hartsville Regional slightly thinner. The Charlotte Sectional adds wider VFR context around Sumter beyond the terminal procedures.
