Instrument coverage

Ocracoke Island’s chart set is small but balanced: its two RNAV (GPS) approaches serve opposite ends of Runway 06/24, so instrument coverage does not favour one runway end. There are no separate departure, arrival or airport-diagram sheets. At 2,998 ft, the runway length is a significant constraint for aircraft requiring greater take-off or landing distance, while the separate 100 ft H1 provides a compact operating area.

Nearby chart context

Billy Mitchell and Hyde County have similarly thin procedure sets. Michael J Smith Field and, especially, Cherry Point have substantially broader chart coverage, with Dare County Regional between those groups. The Charlotte Sectional supplies wider visual context around Ocracoke and neighbouring fields that the two approach charts do not provide.
