One procedure, one runway end

Silver Springs has just one instrument approach: an RNAV (GPS) procedure serving one end of runway 06/24. The reciprocal end has no published approach, so the instrument coverage is distinctly one-sided rather than a matched pair. No airport diagram is published, leaving the approach and minima sheets as the complete terminal chart set.

Regional chart context

Nearby coverage varies sharply. Reno/Tahoe International has by far the broadest set, while Fallon NAS also carries substantially more procedure material. Carson City sits between those larger collections and the much thinner sets at Fallon Municipal and Yerington Municipal. The Las Vegas and San Francisco sectional charts add the wider VFR context around Silver Springs that its single approach sheet does not provide.

Is KSPZ a towered airport?

No — Silver Springs 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 KSPZ 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They are from the FAA cycle effective 6 August 2026, which is superseded on 3 September 2026.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.
