Approach coverage is concentrated

Telluride’s five approaches all serve one end of runway 09/27, leaving the opposite end without a published instrument approach. The mix of three RNAV (GPS) procedures, a VOR approach and a localiser approach provides several procedure types, but not a second instrument arrival direction. With one 7,111 ft runway at a field elevation of 9,069 ft, aircraft-specific take-off and landing performance calculations are central, and there is no alternative runway alignment.

Nearby chart coverage

Montrose Regional has the broadest nearby procedure set, while Cortez Municipal is close to Telluride in chart coverage. Durango-La Plata County has a smaller set; Hopkins Field and Blake Field are thinner still. The Denver Sectional adds broader VFR context beyond the airport diagram and instrument procedures.

Common questions about KTEX

What charts are available for KTEX?

8 current FAA charts for Telluride Rgnl, including 5 instrument approachs, 1 airport diagram. All are free to download as PDFs from this page, from the 6 August 2026 cycle.

What are the radio frequencies for KTEX?

CTAF 123.0. Full civil VHF list, with sector notes, is in the frequencies table on this page — from the FAA NASR subscription.

How long is the runway at KTEX?

Telluride Rgnl has 1 runway. The longest is 09/27 at 7,111 ft by 100 ft, asphalt. Full runway dimensions, lighting and approach aids are listed on this page.

Does KTEX have an ILS approach?

No ILS is published. In total KTEX has 5 published instrument approaches, of which 3 are RNAV (GPS).

Where can I download the KTEX airport diagram?

The official FAA airport diagram for Telluride Rgnl is free to download at the top of this page. It shows runways, taxiways, ramp layout and hold-short positions, and is reissued every 28 days.

Which runway do instrument approaches serve at KTEX?

Every published approach serves one runway end. There is no instrument procedure to the reciprocal direction, so an arrival in instrument conditions commits to that single approach direction regardless of the wind.

How high is KTEX?

The field elevation is 9,069 ft. At that height the air is thin enough to matter: take-off and landing distances are longer than the same aircraft would need at sea level, and the effect worsens as temperature rises. The approach charts carry the altitudes that apply.

Is KTEX a towered airport?

No — Telluride Rgnl 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 KTEX 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.
