City Of Colorado Springs Municipal publishes 1 departure procedure (SID) — 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.

Takeoff, alternate and surface information
- Takeoff minimums are published for KCOS. 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.
- A diverse vector area (DVA) is established, so ATC can issue radar vectors below the minimum vectoring altitude right after departure.
- Non standard alternate minimums are published: if you file KCOS 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.
