Approach and runway coverage

Five approach plates serve four of Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International’s six runway ends, giving instrument coverage across more than one alignment without covering the entire runway layout. The mix includes ILS and localiser guidance alongside RNAV (GPS), rather than relying solely on satellite-based procedures. Runway 17/35 is the only strip longer than 3,438 ft; any aircraft requiring more runway than that is confined by published length to this alignment.

Regional chart context

Battle Creek Executive at Kellogg Field has nearly comparable procedure coverage, with eight charts against Kalamazoo’s nine. The other listed nearby airports have much thinner sets of three or four charts. The Chicago and Detroit sectionals add broader visual-navigation context beyond the terminal procedures.
