Approach coverage

Napakiak’s compact procedure set gives both ends of its sole runway an RNAV (GPS) approach, so instrument arrival coverage is balanced between Runway 16 and Runway 34 rather than concentrated on one direction. The set is narrowly focused on arrivals and minima, with no airport diagram or published departure procedure. The 3,248 ft gravel runway also provides only one alignment, placing a clear length and surface constraint on aircraft using the field.

Nearby chart coverage

Bethel stands apart among the nearby airports with 12 published charts. Napaskiak and Kasigluk match Napakiak’s three-chart set, while Kwethluk and Akiachak have only one more each. The Bethel and McGrath sectional charts add broader VFR context beyond the airport-specific instrument procedures.
