Instrument procedure coverage

Tin City LRRS has two approaches, one RNAV (GPS) and one NDB, but both serve the same runway end. The opposite end therefore has no published instrument approach this cycle. Departure coverage is split between one standard departure and two obstacle departure procedures, giving the chart set a stronger departure component than its approach count alone suggests.

Runway and surrounding coverage

The single 4,702 ft gravel runway provides no alternative alignment, while its length and surface define the practical aircraft constraints at the field. Wales, Brevig Mission and Teller each have five published charts, only one fewer than Tin City LRRS, so their procedure coverage is comparably broad rather than markedly thinner. The Nome Sectional adds wider visual-navigation context beyond the airport-specific terminal procedures.

What are the radio frequencies for PATC?

CTAF 126.2. Full civil VHF list, with sector notes, is in the frequencies table on this page — from the FAA NASR subscription.

How long is the runway at PATC?

Tin City Lrrs has 1 runway. The longest is 17/35 at 4,702 ft by 100 ft, gravel. Full runway dimensions, lighting and approach aids are listed on this page.

Does PATC have an ILS approach?

No ILS is published. In total PATC has 2 published instrument approaches, of which 1 are RNAV (GPS).

Where can I download the PATC airport diagram?

The official FAA airport diagram for Tin City Lrrs is free to download at the top of this page. It shows runways, taxiways, ramp layout and hold-short positions, and is reissued every 28 days.

Which runway do instrument approaches serve at PATC?

Every published approach serves one runway end. There is no instrument procedure to the reciprocal direction, so an arrival in instrument conditions commits to that single approach direction regardless of the wind.

Is PATC a towered airport?

No — Tin City Lrrs has no control tower. Traffic co-ordinates on a common frequency rather than with a controller, which is listed in the frequencies table on this page.

Are these PATC charts current?

They are from the FAA cycle effective 6 August 2026, which is superseded on 3 September 2026. We publish each new cycle on its effective date. They are for flight simulation and reference only — not for real-world navigation.
