Instrument approaches at KSPS
Sheppard AFB/Wichita Falls Municipal has 8 published instrument approaches of 4 types (ILS, RNAV (GPS), VOR and TACAN). 5 of them offer vertical guidance; ILS gives the lowest minimums.

No published approach to runway 15C, 33C, 18, 36 and 33R: landing on those ends in instrument conditions means a circling approach or a visual after breaking out.
