A sparse instrument set

Truth or Consequences Municipal has two instrument approaches, one RNAV (GPS) and one VOR. This provides a choice of navigation method, but little procedural depth beyond those approaches; no airport diagram is published. Of the five runway alignments, only 13/31 combines an asphalt surface with a length above 7,000 ft. Three gravel runways are close to 3,000 ft, while 11/29 is the other long alignment at nearly 7,000 ft.

Regional chart coverage

Grant County and Las Cruces International have broader procedure sets, with eight and six charts respectively, while Socorro Municipal’s two-chart set is thinner than the four charts published for TCS. The Albuquerque Sectional adds wider VFR context beyond the airport-specific instrument procedures.

Is KTCS a towered airport?

No — Truth Or Consequences Muni 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.

How many runways does KTCS have?

5, which is why the chart set is as large as it is — each runway end that supports an instrument approach needs its own plates. The runway diagram on this page shows the layout to scale.

Are these KTCS 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They are from the FAA cycle effective 6 August 2026, which is superseded on 3 September 2026.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.
