Procedure coverage

Westerly State’s two approaches serve only one of its four runway ends. The RNAV (GPS) and localiser procedures therefore provide two forms of instrument guidance to the same end rather than coverage across both runway alignments. The two runways are almost identical in length, so selecting between them offers no material gain in available landing or take-off distance.

Nearby chart coverage

Groton-New London has the broadest procedure set among the nearby fields, followed by Quonset State. Block Island State and Montauk have chart coverage comparable in size to Westerly’s, while Elizabeth Field’s is markedly thinner. The New York Sectional supplies broader VFR navigation context, with the Boston Terminal Area Chart adding more detailed terminal-area coverage.

Common questions about KWST

What charts are available for KWST?

5 current FAA charts for Westerly State, including 2 instrument approachs, 2 arrival procedures. All are free to download as PDFs from this page, from the 6 August 2026 cycle.

What are the radio frequencies for KWST?

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 KWST?

Westerly State has 2 runways. The longest is 07/25 at 4,010 ft by 100 ft, asphalt. Full runway dimensions, lighting and approach aids are listed on this page.

Does KWST have an ILS approach?

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

Which runway do instrument approaches serve at KWST?

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.

Is KWST a towered airport?

No — Westerly State 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 KWST 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They are from the FAA cycle effective 6 August 2026, which is superseded on 3 September 2026.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.
