What KDOV publishes

Airport diagram

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

Instrument approaches at KDOV

Dover AFB has 7 published instrument approaches of 3 types (ILS, RNAV (GPS) and TACAN). 4 of them offer vertical guidance; ILS gives the lowest minimums.

No published approach to runway 14: landing on that end in instrument conditions means a circling approach or a visual after breaking out.

Departures and arrivals

Dover AFB publishes 2 departure procedures (SIDs) — charted routes from the runway to the en route structure, assigned by ATC in the clearance. It also publishes 1 arrival (STAR), 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 KDOV

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 Intersecting of Rwy 01–19, Rwy 14–32 and Twy D btn the runways can create confusion. Query twr if lost or need help.
  • HS 2 Rwy 01–19 btn Twy B and Twy E has had an increased No of rwy incursions.

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.
