Instrument coverage

Kirsch Municipal’s instrument coverage is concentrated on two of its four runway ends. Both approaches use RNAV (GPS), leaving the other two ends without a published instrument procedure. The runway alignments also differ materially in length: 01/19 provides 1,600 ft more than 06/24, making it the less restrictive alignment where required runway distance is the deciding factor.

Local chart context

Nearby procedure coverage is tightly grouped. Goshen Municipal has the broadest set at five charts; Branch County Memorial and Kendallville Municipal match Kirsch Municipal’s four, while Three Rivers Municipal/Dr Haines and Tri-State Steuben County have thinner sets of three. The Chicago and Detroit sectionals add broader VFR context around Sturgis beyond the airport-specific terminal procedures.
