Procedure coverage

Tonopah’s two published approaches—one RNAV (GPS) and one VOR—both serve a single runway end. The practical distinction is therefore in navigation method, not runway choice: none of the other three fixed-wing runway ends has a published approach. The airport diagram clarifies the crossing 11/29 and 15/33 layout and the separate H1 pad.

Runways and wider context

Runway 15/33 is 1,500 ft longer than 11/29, providing a materially different runway-length option at the same field; H1 provides a dedicated 48 ft helicopter surface. Nearby Tonopah Test Range has much broader procedure coverage, with 17 charts against Tonopah’s five. The Las Vegas Sectional adds wider VFR context not contained in the airport diagram or instrument procedures.

Common questions about KTPH

What charts are available for KTPH?

5 current FAA charts for Tonopah, including 2 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 KTPH?

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 KTPH?

Tonopah has 3 runways. The longest is 15/33 at 7,160 ft by 75 ft, asphalt. Full runway dimensions, lighting and approach aids are listed on this page.

Does KTPH have an ILS approach?

No ILS is published. In total KTPH has 2 published instrument approaches, of which 1 are RNAV (GPS).

Where can I download the KTPH airport diagram?

The official FAA airport diagram for Tonopah 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 KTPH?

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 KTPH?

The field elevation is 5,430 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 KTPH a towered airport?

No — Tonopah 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 KTPH 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.

Wider chart sets

Bulk archives are a PRO benefit. Individual charts are free for everyone, always.
