Approach coverage

Wilkes-Barre Wyoming Valley has two RNAV (GPS) approaches serving two of its four runway ends, leaving the other two without published approaches. The 3,375 ft runway provides the greater operating length; the second is substantially shorter at 2,193 ft and combines asphalt and turf, narrowing the range of aircraft for which it is practical. No separate airport diagram is published.

Local chart context

Nearby chart coverage varies markedly. Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International has the broadest set with eight charts, while Seamans Field has only two; Hazleton Regional and Pocono Mountains Regional each have five. The New York Sectional supplies wider VFR context beyond the approach and minima sheets.
