Instrument coverage

Willows/Glenn County’s two instrument approaches both serve a single runway end, so the RNAV (GPS) and VOR procedures provide different forms of guidance without adding a second instrument arrival direction. The two runways are similar in length, and even the longer is 4,125 ft; the choice is therefore mainly between alignments rather than a substantial increase in available runway distance. No airport diagram is published.

Regional chart context

Nearby procedure coverage varies noticeably. Chico Regional has the broadest set, followed by Red Bluff Municipal, while Haigh Field is thinner than Willows; Oroville Municipal matches Willows in total coverage. The San Francisco Sectional adds regional visual-reference and airspace context not supplied by the approach and minimums material.

Is KWLW a towered airport?

No — Willows/Glenn County 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 KWLW 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They are from the FAA cycle effective 6 August 2026, which is superseded on 3 September 2026.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.
