Two GPS-served runway ends

Curtis Fld has four runway ends, but published RNAV (GPS) approaches serve only two, with one procedure for each served end. The other two ends have no published instrument approach. The 4,605 ft asphalt runway is 1,085 ft longer than the 3,520 ft turf runway, so both surface and available length change with runway selection. No airport diagram is published.

Coverage around Brady

Brownwood Rgnl has the broadest nearby chart set, with seven procedures. Coleman Muni and Llano Muni match Curtis Fld’s four-chart coverage, while Mason County and San Saba County Muni each have a slightly thinner three-chart set. The San Antonio Sectional adds the wider VFR navigation picture around Brady that the airport-specific instrument charts do not provide.
