Approach coverage at Emmonak

Emmonak’s compact procedure set centres on three approaches serving both ends of its sole runway. Two are RNAV (GPS) procedures and one is VOR, providing both GPS and VOR coverage; with three procedures divided between two runway ends, one end necessarily has more than one published option. The single 4,601 ft gravel runway leaves no second runway alignment, and no airport diagram is published.

Wider chart context

St Mary’s has equally broad chart coverage by total count, while Kotlik and Mountain Village each have a thinner published set. The Bethel Sectional supplies the wider visual-navigation context around Emmonak that the airport-specific instrument procedures do not provide.
