What KAQW publishes
Instrument approaches at KAQW
Harriman-And-West has 2 published instrument approaches of 1 type (RNAV (GPS)). 2 of them offer vertical guidance; RNAV (GPS) gives the lowest minimums. 2 are circling only — bringing you to the airport rather than a runway, to circle for whichever runway the wind favors at circling minimums.
No published approach to runway 11 and 29: landing on those ends in instrument conditions means a circling approach or a visual after breaking out.
