Procedure coverage

Schuylkill County/Joe Zerbey has three approaches divided between only two of its four runway ends, leaving the other two without a published approach. One served end therefore has a choice of procedures. The mix is centred on RNAV (GPS), with a VOR procedure providing a second approach type. There is no dedicated airport diagram.

Runways and surrounding coverage

The 5,101 ft asphalt runway is just over twice the length of the 2,523 ft turf runway; aircraft needing more than 2,523 ft have only runway 11/29 available. Northumberland County and Deck match ZER’s four-chart coverage, while Bendigo’s two-chart set is notably thinner; Bloomsburg Municipal and Danville sit between them with three each. The New York Sectional adds broader visual-navigation context beyond the terminal procedures.
