What KAPC publishes

Airport diagram

The FAA airport diagram for Napa County — runways, taxiways, ramps and hold short lines. Shown in the browser above; the FAA PDF ↗ is the authoritative copy.

Instrument approaches at KAPC

Napa County has 6 published instrument approaches of 3 types (ILS, RNAV (GPS) and VOR). 5 of them offer vertical guidance; ILS gives the lowest minimums.

No published approach to runway 24, 01R and 19L: landing on those ends in instrument conditions means a circling approach or a visual after breaking out.

Departures and arrivals

Napa County publishes 3 departure procedures (SIDs) — charted routes from the runway to the en route structure, assigned by ATC in the clearance. It also publishes 2 arrivals (STARs), the mirror image: charted routes from the en route structure down to where the approach begins. Each one is in the list at the foot of this page with its continuation pages.

Hot spots at KAPC

The FAA publishes 3 hot spots here but no shapes, so they are not drawn on the map. Brief the descriptions against the airport diagram.

  • HS 1 Surface Incident Risk. Twy A, Twy A2, Twy C, Twy E, and the ramp. Complex geometry due to converging Twys.
  • HS 2 Runway Incursion Risk. Twy A at Rwy 24. Short distance from ramp to Rwy.
  • HS 3 Runway Incursion Risk. Rwy 1L, Rwy 6, and Twy H. Aircraft taxiing outbound for departure will encounter runway position hold markings in an unexpected location. Aircraft landing Rwy 19R, must receive ATC authorization to exit onto Rwys 06–24.

Locations on the airport surface with a history of confusion or runway incursions — brief them against the diagram before taxi. Source: FAA Chart Supplement, reproduced verbatim on the 56-day cycle; the numbers match the circled HS markers on the diagram.

Takeoff, alternate and surface information

  • Takeoff minimums are published for KAPC. Standard is 1 statute mile visibility for one and two engine aircraft (½ mile for more than two) unless this section says otherwise; Part 91 operators are not bound by them but the obstacle notes apply to everyone.
  • Napa County has an obstacle departure procedure (ODP): the charted way to clear terrain and obstacles after takeoff in instrument conditions. ATC does not assign it; under Part 91 it is recommended rather than required, and it is what you fly when no SID or radar vectors have been given.
  • Non standard alternate minimums are published: if you file KAPC as an IFR alternate, the required forecast is higher than the default 600-2 for precision or 800-2 for non precision approaches. Check the alternate rule tool.
  • Land and hold short operations (LAHSO) are conducted here. The plate lists which runway intersections and the available landing distance for each; a pilot may always decline a LAHSO clearance.

Yes. Napa County has 6 published instrument approaches: ILS, RNAV (GPS), VOR. At least one offers vertical guidance.

Are there hot spots at KAPC?

Yes. The FAA publishes 3 hot spots at Napa County — locations on the airport surface with a history of confusion or runway incursions. Each one's Chart Supplement description is on this page, numbered the way the airport diagram marks it.

What is the lowest approach at KAPC?

ILS to runway 01L is the approach type with the lowest published minimums at Napa County. It has vertical guidance, so it is flown to a decision altitude rather than a minimum descent altitude. Actual minimums vary by aircraft category and are on the plate.

Does KAPC have SIDs and STARs?

Napa County publishes 3 departure procedures (SIDs) and 2 arrivals (STARs). Both lists are on this page, each linked to the current FAA plate.

Does KAPC have an obstacle departure procedure?

Yes. Napa County publishes an ODP. Under Part 91 it is not mandatory in most cases, but it is the charted way to clear terrain and obstacles after takeoff in instrument conditions.
