Procedure coverage

South Naknek Nr 2 has four runway ends, but published instrument access reaches only two of them. Both procedures are RNAV (GPS), so the chart set provides partial directional coverage rather than an approach for every runway end. There is no separate airport diagram among the published procedures.

Runways and surrounding coverage

The longer strip provides 1,050 ft more runway than the shorter one, making the two alignments materially different in usable length. Nearby King Salmon has a substantially broader procedure set, while Egegik has thinner coverage and New Stuyahok, Clarks Point and Igiugig are comparable to South Naknek Nr 2 by chart count. The Kodiak Sectional adds the broader visual and geographical context not supplied by the airport’s small terminal procedure set.
