Limited instrument coverage

Cable Union’s instrument set is narrowly focused: its sole approach is RNAV (GPS) and serves just one runway end. The other three ends have no published approach this cycle, while the absence of an airport diagram leaves no separate FAA layout sheet. The crossed runways provide two alignments, but differ substantially: the 3,709 ft asphalt strip is 1,515 ft longer than the 2,194 ft turf runway, making the choices materially different in available length and surface.

Regional chart context

Nearby coverage ranges from the equally thin two-chart set at Solon Springs Municipal to the broader seven-chart set at John F Kennedy Memorial; Sawyer County is also comparatively well covered with five. The Green Bay Sectional adds regional VFR context beyond Cable Union’s instrument procedure and minima sheet.

Common questions about 3CU

What charts are available for 3CU?

2 current FAA charts for Cable Union, including 1 instrument approach. All are free to download as PDFs from this page, from the 6 August 2026 cycle.

What are the radio frequencies for 3CU?

CTAF 122.8. Full civil VHF list, with sector notes, is in the frequencies table on this page — from the FAA NASR subscription.

How long is the runway at 3CU?

Cable Union has 2 runways. The longest is 17/35 at 3,709 ft by 75 ft, asphalt. Full runway dimensions, lighting and approach aids are listed on this page.

Does 3CU have an ILS approach?

No ILS is published. In total 3CU has 1 published instrument approach, of which 1 are RNAV (GPS).

Which runway do instrument approaches serve at 3CU?

Every published approach serves one runway end. There is no instrument procedure to the reciprocal direction, so an arrival in instrument conditions commits to that single approach direction regardless of the wind.

Is 3CU a towered airport?

No — Cable Union has no control tower. Traffic co-ordinates on a common frequency rather than with a controller, which is listed in the frequencies table on this page.

Are these 3CU charts current?

They are from the FAA cycle effective 6 August 2026, which is superseded on 3 September 2026. We publish each new cycle on its effective date. They are for flight simulation and reference only — not for real-world navigation.

Wider chart sets

Bulk archives are a PRO benefit. Individual charts are free for everyone, always.
