Approach and runway coverage

At Virgil I Grissom Municipal, the two published approaches are both RNAV (GPS) procedures and together serve two of the four runway ends. Published instrument approach coverage is therefore confined to half the available ends and is entirely GPS-based. Runway 13/31 provides 1,412 ft more length than 06/24, making it the only alignment available when a required runway length exceeds 3,089 ft but remains within 4,501 ft.

Surrounding chart coverage

Monroe County and Columbus Municipal have broader procedure sets, with eight charts apiece. Freeman Municipal matches BFR’s five, while French Lick Municipal and Daviess County are only slightly thinner at four each. The Cincinnati and St Louis sectionals add wider visual-navigation context beyond the airport diagram and instrument procedures.
