What KPSC publishes

Airport diagram

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

Instrument approaches at KPSC

Tri-Cities has 11 published instrument approaches of 4 types (ILS, RNAV (RNP), RNAV (GPS) and VOR). 9 of them offer vertical guidance; ILS gives the lowest minimums.

No published approach to runway 03R and 21L: landing on those ends in instrument conditions means a circling approach or a visual after breaking out.

Hot spots at KPSC

2 hot spots drawn on the map, with the Chart Supplement’s description for each.

  • HS 1 Pilots ldg Rwy 30 should listen carefully to ATCT instructions and be prepared to exit onto Rwy 03R–21L or Rwy 03L–21R. Pilots often exit at the wrong rwy as directions signs are not avbl.
  • HS 2 Pilots sometimes cross Rwy 21L without authorization. When twr is opr, ATC clearance is required to enter or cross rwy.

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.

Takeoff, alternate and surface information

  • Takeoff minimums are published for KPSC. 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.
  • Tri-Cities 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 KPSC 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.
