Rickenbacker’s two parallel runways are both about 12,000 ft long, providing substantial runway length on a common alignment rather than a choice of crossing directions. Every runway end has an instrument approach. The mix of ILS, RNAV (GPS) and localiser procedures provides several guidance methods, while CAT II/III minima on one ILS add a lower-visibility tier to the set.
Among nearby fields, John Glenn Columbus International has broader chart coverage; Ohio State University and Bolton Field are closer to Rickenbacker’s scale, while Fairfield County and Pickaway County Memorial have much thinner sets. The Cincinnati and Detroit sectionals add wider VFR airport, airspace and landmark context beyond the terminal procedures.
