Approach and runway coverage

Creston Municipal’s instrument coverage is tightly focused: two RNAV (GPS) approaches serve two runway ends, giving each covered end its own procedure but offering no alternative approach type. No airport diagram is published. The 4,901 ft concrete runway is almost three times the length of the 1,692 ft turf runway, making runway length a much tighter constraint on the shorter alignment.

Chart context

Osceola Municipal and Lamoni Municipal match Creston’s four-chart coverage, while Corning Municipal has the thinnest nearby set with two charts; Greenfield Municipal and Winterset Municipal sit between them with three each. The Omaha Sectional supplies the broader VFR context around Creston that the terminal procedures do not provide.
