Tacoma Narrows has instrument approaches to both ends of its sole 5,002 ft runway, so neither direction is left without a published arrival procedure. The three approach plates collectively provide ILS, localiser and RNAV (GPS) options. With only one published departure procedure, the compact chart set is more developed for arrivals than departures. The single-runway layout also means every procedure uses the same alignment, with no cross-runway option.
Gray AAF has a similarly sized procedure set, while McChord Field and Seattle-Tacoma International have substantially broader coverage. Auburn Municipal and Bremerton National are represented by thinner sets. The Seattle Sectional adds the wider visual-planning context around Tacoma and these neighbouring fields that the airport-specific terminal procedures do not provide.
