Procedure coverage

Freeman Fld’s instrument coverage is concentrated on a single RNAV (GPS) approach to one runway end. The remaining five runway ends have no published approach, while the absence of an airport diagram leaves the chart set focused narrowly on that arrival procedure. The 3,498 ft asphalt runway is materially longer than either turf strip, both of which are under 2,000 ft; the additional alignments therefore do not provide comparable runway length.

Local chart context

Among nearby fields, Manhattan Rgnl has the broadest procedure set, with more than twice the chart coverage of Marshall AAF, Abilene Muni or Herington Rgnl; Clay Center Muni is thinner still. The Kansas City and Wichita sectional charts add broader VFR context around Junction City that the terminal procedure does not supply.

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 3JC?

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

Which runway do instrument approaches serve at 3JC?

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 3JC a towered airport?

No — Freeman Fld 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 3JC 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They are from the FAA cycle effective 6 August 2026, which is superseded on 3 September 2026.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.
