Procedure and runway coverage

Aurora Municipal’s six approach charts serve four of its six runway ends, leaving two ends without a published instrument approach. The mix of ILS, localiser and RNAV (GPS) procedures provides both ground-based and satellite-based coverage. Runway length also separates the available alignments clearly: an aircraft requiring more than 5,503 ft has only runway 09/27 available, while one requiring more than 3,198 ft cannot use 18/36.

Local chart context

DuPage and Lewis University have chart sets comparable in breadth to Aurora’s. De Kalb Taylor Municipal and Morris Municipal have much thinner coverage, while Bolingbrook’s Clow International has only two published charts. Beyond the instrument procedures, the Chicago Sectional supplies broader VFR context, the Terminal Area Chart gives a more focused depiction around Chicago, and the Helicopter Route Chart adds the published helicopter-route picture.
