What KNEW publishes

Airport diagram

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

Instrument approaches at KNEW

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

No published approach to runway 18L, 36R, 09 and 27: landing on those ends in instrument conditions means a circling approach or a visual after breaking out.

Departures and arrivals

Lakefront publishes 4 arrivals (STARs), 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.
