Approach coverage

Moore County’s four IAP charts serve both ends of runway 05/23, with ILS and RNAV (GPS) coverage supplemented by localiser procedures. This gives each runway direction instrument procedure coverage rather than concentrating approaches on one end. The single 6,503 ft runway provides no alternative alignment, so all published approaches lead to the same strip.

Local chart context

Mackall AAF and Pope AAF have chart sets closest in breadth to Moore County’s, while P K Airpark and Montgomery County have notably thinner coverage; Simmons AAF sits between them. The Charlotte Sectional adds the wider visual-navigation context around Pinehurst/Southern Pines that the terminal procedure charts do not provide.
