What KCXP publishes

Airport diagram

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

Instrument approaches at KCXP

Carson City has 3 published instrument approaches of 1 type (RNAV (GPS)). 3 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 09: landing on that end in instrument conditions means a circling approach or a visual after breaking out.

Takeoff, alternate and surface information

  • Takeoff minimums are published for KCXP. 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.
  • Carson City 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 KCXP 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.
