Instrument coverage

Tonopah Test Range has instrument approaches to both runway ends rather than concentrating access on one direction. The mix of ILS, localiser, RNAV (GPS) and VOR procedures provides several distinct forms of guidance, while seven departure charts make outbound coverage nearly as extensive as the eight approach charts. Nearby Tonopah has a considerably thinner published procedure set.

Runway and visual context

The single 12,001 ft concrete runway provides substantial take-off and landing distance, including for aircraft with longer runway requirements, but offers no alternative alignment. Its length is especially relevant alongside the field elevation of 5,550 ft. The Las Vegas Sectional supplies broader visual-navigation context around Tonopah beyond the airport diagram and terminal procedures.

Common questions about KTNX

What charts are available for KTNX?

17 current FAA charts for Tonopah Test Range, including 8 instrument approachs, 7 departure procedures, 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 KTNX?

Tower 124.75; Ground 127.25. 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 KTNX?

Tonopah Test Range has 1 runway. The longest is 15/33 at 12,001 ft by 150 ft, concrete. Full runway dimensions, lighting and approach aids are listed on this page.

Does KTNX have an ILS approach?

Yes — 2 ILS procedures are published. In total KTNX has 8 published instrument approaches, of which 2 are RNAV (GPS).

Where can I download the KTNX airport diagram?

The official FAA airport diagram for Tonopah Test Range 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.

How high is KTNX?

The field elevation is 5,550 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 KTNX a towered airport?

Yes. Tonopah Test Range has an operating control tower, within Los Angeles Center's airspace. Tower, ground and clearance frequencies are listed on this page.

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They are from the FAA cycle effective 6 August 2026, which is superseded on 3 September 2026.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