Limited instrument coverage

Fairfield Municipal’s chart set is concentrated on a single RNAV (GPS) approach to one runway end. The reciprocal end has no published approach, and neither end of the cross-runway is served, leaving only one instrument arrival alignment. There is also no published airport diagram.

Runways and surrounding coverage

Runway 18/36 provides less than half the length of 09/27, making the 4,000 ft runway less restrictive for aircraft runway-length requirements. Every nearby field listed has broader procedure coverage: Mount Vernon has the largest set, while Carmi Municipal and Salem-Leckrone have the smallest nearby sets, though each still has twice Fairfield’s total. The St Louis Sectional adds wider visual navigation context absent from this narrowly focused instrument set.

How long is the runway at KFWC?

Which runway do instrument approaches serve at KFWC?

Every published approach serves one runway end. There is no instrument procedure to the reciprocal direction, so an arrival in instrument conditions commits to that single approach direction regardless of the wind.

Is KFWC a towered airport?

No — Fairfield Muni has no control tower. Traffic co-ordinates on a common frequency rather than with a controller, which is listed in the frequencies table on this page.

Are these KFWC charts current?

They are from the FAA cycle effective 6 August 2026, which is superseded on 3 September 2026. We publish each new cycle on its effective date. They are for flight simulation and reference only — not for real-world navigation.
