Instrument approaches at PACV
Merle K (Mudhole) Smith has 3 published instrument approaches of 2 types (ILS and RNAV (GPS)). 3 of them offer vertical guidance; ILS gives the lowest minimums. 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 09, 16 and 34: landing on those ends in instrument conditions means a circling approach or a visual after breaking out.
