Procedure coverage

Waimea-Kohala’s four approaches are evenly divided between RNAV (GPS) and VOR procedures, with both ends of runway 04/22 served. Instrument coverage is therefore not confined to a single arrival direction, although every procedure leads to the same 5,197 ft runway. The chart set does not include an airport diagram.

Nearby chart coverage

Ellison Onizuka Kona International at Keahole and Hilo International have much broader procedure collections, with 17 and 13 charts respectively. Hana’s five-chart set is closest in scale to Waimea-Kohala’s six, while Bradshaw Army Airfield has only two. The Hawaiian Islands Sectional Aeronautical Chart adds wider VFR context beyond the terminal procedures.
