William M Tuck’s two published approaches, one RNAV (GPS) and one VOR, both serve the same runway end. The choice is therefore between two procedure types for one direction, rather than instrument coverage around the field; the other three runway ends have no published approach.
The asphalt 01/19 is nearly twice the length of the turf 06/24, so the second alignment does not provide like-for-like runway capability. Nearby chart coverage remains similar in scale: Chase City Municipal matches William M Tuck, while Danville Regional has the broadest set and Lake Country Regional the thinnest. The Cincinnati and Washington sectionals add broader visual and geographic context beyond the airport’s narrowly focused instrument procedures.

CTAF 122.8. Full civil VHF list, with sector notes, is in the frequencies table on this page — from the FAA NASR subscription.
William M Tuck has 2 runways. The longest is 01/19 at 4,003 ft by 75 ft, asphalt. Full runway dimensions, lighting and approach aids are listed on this page.
No ILS is published. In total W78 has 2 published instrument approaches, of which 1 are RNAV (GPS).
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.
No — William M Tuck 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.
