Approach coverage

All three published approaches at Vernal Regional serve the same end of runway 17/35, leaving the opposite end without a published instrument approach. Two RNAV (GPS) procedures and one VOR procedure provide distinct navigation bases, but the coverage remains concentrated on a single landing direction. The 7,000 ft runway offers one alignment only, so the chart set provides no alternative runway orientation.

Surrounding chart coverage

Rangely has the nearest comparable breadth of published procedures, while Manila and Roosevelt Municipal have thinner sets and Duchesne Municipal has the sparsest coverage. The Cheyenne and Salt Lake City sectional charts extend the available material beyond airport diagrams and instrument procedures, adding broader VFR chart coverage around Vernal.

Common questions about KVEL

What charts are available for KVEL?

6 current FAA charts for Vernal Rgnl, including 3 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 KVEL?

CTAF 122.7. 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 KVEL?

Vernal Rgnl has 1 runway. The longest is 17/35 at 7,000 ft by 100 ft, asphalt. Full runway dimensions, lighting and approach aids are listed on this page.

Does KVEL have an ILS approach?

No ILS is published. In total KVEL has 3 published instrument approaches, of which 2 are RNAV (GPS).

Where can I download the KVEL airport diagram?

The official FAA airport diagram for Vernal 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 KVEL?

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 KVEL?

The field elevation is 5,274 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 KVEL a towered airport?

No — Vernal 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 KVEL 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.
