Procedure coverage

Fairbury’s two RNAV (GPS) approaches serve two of its four runway ends, so the remaining pair has no published instrument approach. No airport diagram is published, making the sectional charts particularly useful for the wider visual picture and the airfield’s relationship to surrounding features.

Runways and nearby chart sets

The 3,700 ft concrete runway provides 1,213 ft more length than the turf runway; the latter’s 2,487 ft length places a substantially tighter limit on aircraft runway requirements. Fairbury’s three-chart set matches the coverage at Washington County Veteran’s Memorial and Fairmont State. Beatrice Municipal has the broadest nearby set with six charts, while Crete and Hebron also have more published material. Three sectional charts cover Fairbury, providing overlapping VFR context beyond the two instrument procedures.
