All published approaches at Merle K (Mudhole) Smith serve a single runway end. The mix includes ILS and localiser procedures alongside two RNAV (GPS) options, giving that end both ground-based and satellite-based coverage while leaving the remaining runway ends without published approaches.
The 7,500 ft asphalt runway provides substantially more usable length than the 1,934 ft gravel cross-runway; aircraft requiring more than the shorter distance cannot treat the two as equivalent. Among nearby fields, Valdez Pioneer Field has the closer comparison in chart breadth, while Tatitlek’s two-chart set is much thinner. The Anchorage and Seward sectionals add broader visual-navigation context beyond the airport diagram and terminal procedures.
