Every one of Decatur’s six runway ends has a published instrument approach, so coverage is spread across the full three-runway layout rather than concentrated on one alignment. RNAV (GPS) forms the largest part of the set, supplemented by ILS, localiser and VOR procedures. Runway choice also changes the available length substantially: 06/24 provides more than 3,000 ft beyond 18/36. The airport diagram clarifies the layout when matching a procedure to its runway end.
University of Illinois/Willard has the closest nearby match in chart breadth, while Coles County Memorial has an intermediate set. Shelby County, Taylorville Municipal and Logan County have markedly thinner procedure coverage. The Chicago and St Louis sectionals add broader visual-navigation context beyond the terminal charts.
