Instrument approaches at KGVL

Lee Gilmer Memorial has 3 published instrument approaches of 2 types (ILS and RNAV (GPS)). 3 of them offer vertical guidance; ILS gives the lowest minimums.

Takeoff, alternate and surface information

• Takeoff minimums are published for KGVL. 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.
• Non standard alternate minimums are published: if you file KGVL 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.
