Approach coverage at Wilkes County

Wilkes County’s single 6,201 ft runway has published approaches to both ends, so instrument coverage is not concentrated in one direction. The four approach plates provide ILS and RNAV (GPS) procedures, with localiser capability also represented. With no airport diagram published, the chart set is focused narrowly on arrival procedures and associated minimums rather than ground layout.

Nearby and VFR chart coverage

Statesville Regional matches Wilkes County’s overall chart count, while Hickory Regional has a slightly broader set. Ashe County and Mount Airy/Surry County are close behind; Elkin Municipal’s three-chart collection is notably thinner. Three sectional charts cover Wilkes County, adding broader VFR context beyond the airport-specific instrument procedures.
