Approach and runway picture

Kearney Regional’s five approach plates cover three of its four runway ends, leaving one end without a published instrument procedure. Three RNAV (GPS) procedures sit alongside ILS, localiser and VOR options, so the coverage is not reliant on a single approach type. Runway 18/36 offers 2,596 ft more length than 13/31; any aircraft requiring more than 4,498 ft is therefore limited to the longer alignment on runway length alone.

Coverage around Kearney

Among the listed nearby fields, only Central Nebraska Regional has broader procedure coverage. Brewster Field and Hastings Municipal have appreciably thinner sets, while Pioneer Village Field and Loup City Municipal are thinner again. The Omaha Sectional adds the wider VFR context around Kearney that airport-specific terminal procedures do not show.
