One approach, one runway end

Auburn Municipal’s instrument arrival provision consists of a single RNAV (GPS) approach serving one end of Runway 17/35. The opposite end has no published instrument approach. With one 3,842 ft runway, the chart set offers neither a second alignment nor another instrument arrival option; the published departure procedure therefore forms a significant part of an otherwise compact procedure set.

Surrounding chart coverage

Nearby coverage varies sharply. Seattle-Tacoma International has by far the broadest procedure collection, while Boeing Field and Renton Municipal also have substantially larger sets. Tacoma Narrows is more modestly covered, and Pierce County/Thun Field has an even thinner set than Auburn. The Seattle Sectional adds the wider visual context around Auburn that the airport diagram and terminal procedures do not provide.
