Concentrated on one runway end

Cape Lisburne LRRS has two instrument approaches, but both serve the same end of its sole 09/27 runway. The RNAV (GPS) and NDB procedures provide different forms of guidance in one direction, while the reciprocal end has no published approach. Departure coverage includes both a DP and an ODP, so the compact chart set addresses outbound as well as inbound instrument operations.

Runway and visual context

With one 4,800 ft gravel runway, realistic use is confined to aircraft compatible with that length and surface; there is no alternative runway alignment. The Cape Lisburne Sectional supplies broader VFR context absent from the terminal procedures. Point Hope has the same number of published charts, making its coverage similarly compact.
