Approach coverage on the single runway

Colonel James Jabara’s four approach plates serve both ends of Runway 18/36, so the procedure set is not concentrated on one arrival direction. The mix combines RNAV (GPS) coverage with ILS and localiser capability. With only one 6,101 ft runway, however, there is no second alignment represented in the chart set, and no separate airport diagram is published.

Nearby chart coverage and VFR context

Among nearby fields, Mc Connell AFB has a substantially broader published procedure set. Beech Factory and Augusta Municipal are closer to Jabara’s overall chart count, while Lloyd Stearman Field and Cessna Aircraft Field have much thinner coverage. The Kansas City and Wichita sectional charts add the wider VFR context that the airport-specific instrument procedures do not show.
