Balanced GPS coverage

Litchfield Municipal’s four RNAV (GPS) approaches serve all four ends of runways 09/27 and 18/36, giving the crossing layout even instrument coverage rather than favouring one alignment. At 3,900 ft and 4,002 ft, the two runways differ by only 102 ft, so neither offers a meaningful length advantage. The procedure set is otherwise focused: no airport diagram or approach type beyond RNAV (GPS) is published.

Nearby coverage and VFR context

KBLV’s 30-chart and KALN’s 17-chart collections are markedly broader. KGRE’s three charts and the four-chart sets at KVLA and KTAZ are closer to Litchfield’s compact coverage. The St Louis Sectional adds broader visual-route context, while the St Louis Terminal Area Chart provides a more detailed terminal-area depiction than the airport-specific procedures.
