Approach coverage

Auburn/DeKalb Exec has approaches serving both ends of its single runway, so instrument coverage is not confined to one arrival direction. The mix of ILS, localiser, VOR and RNAV (GPS) guidance provides both conventional and satellite-based procedures, with precision guidance available through the ILS. All approaches nevertheless use the same 09/27 alignment, with no second runway direction available.

Regional chart context

Fort Wayne Intl has a markedly broader procedure set than Auburn/DeKalb Exec. Smith Field and Kendallville Muni are closer in overall chart coverage, while Tri-State Steuben County and Williams County have thinner sets. Coverage by both the Chicago and Detroit sectionals adds regional VFR context beyond the airport-specific terminal procedures, placing the field within the coverage of two sectional sheets.
