Approach coverage

Yakutat’s procedure set serves three of its four runway ends, leaving one end without a published instrument approach. The mix includes ILS, localiser, RNAV (GPS) and VOR procedures, providing several forms of instrument guidance rather than relying on a single system. An airport diagram and a departure procedure complete the core terminal coverage.

Runways and VFR context

The two runway alignments provide different available lengths. Runway 11/29 is 1,257 ft longer than 02/20, so runway selection makes a material difference to the distance available. The Anchorage and Juneau sectional charts place Yakutat within broader VFR chart coverage beyond the immediate detail shown by the terminal procedures.
