Instrument Approaches
Palo Alto airport has two approaches, both to runway 31 with 460' MDA/ 1-mi visibility minimums:
- GPS Runway 31
- VOR/DME Runway 31 from San Jose VOR
The VOR approach is almost impossible to get from Air Traffic Control if you are GPS-equipped, because of the conflict with airline traffic in San Jose International Airport.

Famous quotes containing the words instrument and/or approaches:
“You sir, will bring down that renowned chair in which you sit into infamy if your seal is set to this instrument of perfidy; and the name of this nation, hitherto the sweet omen of religion and liberty, will stink to the world.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“As the truest society approaches always nearer to solitude, so the most excellent speech finally falls into Silence. Silence is audible to all men, at all times, and in all places. She is when we hear inwardly, sound when we hear outwardly. Creation has not displaced her, but is her visible framework and foil. All sounds are her servants, and purveyors, proclaiming not only that their mistress is, but is a rare mistress, and earnestly to be sought after.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
