Parker County charts & airport diagram

What KWEA publishes

Instrument approaches at KWEA

Parker County has 1 published instrument approach of 1 type (VOR). None of them offer vertical guidance, so every approach here is flown to a minimum descent altitude. One is circling only — bringing you to the airport rather than a runway, to circle for whichever runway the wind favors at circling minimums.

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

Departures and arrivals

Parker County publishes 6 departure procedures (SIDs) — charted routes from the runway to the en route structure, assigned by ATC in the clearance. It also publishes 6 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.

Takeoff, alternate and surface information

• Takeoff minimums are published for KWEA. 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.
