Instrument coverage at Klawock

Klawock’s two RNAV (GPS) approaches divide coverage across both ends of its sole 5,000 ft runway, rather than concentrating arrivals on one direction. Each landing direction therefore has a published instrument procedure, while the DP and ODP provide dedicated departure material. With no second strip, all published runway procedures resolve to 02/20.

Nearby and VFR coverage

At 48 nm east, Ketchikan International has 11 published charts, making its procedure set appreciably broader than Klawock’s six. Wrangell, 59 nm north-east, matches Klawock’s chart count and is the closer comparison in overall coverage. The Juneau and Ketchikan sectional charts add wider VFR context beyond the airport-specific terminal procedures.
