Procedure coverage at Macomb

Macomb Municipal’s three approaches serve two of its four runway ends, concentrating instrument coverage on selected alignments. With two RNAV (GPS) procedures and one localiser procedure, one served end necessarily has more than one published approach while the other has a single procedure.

Runways and regional context

The 5,100 ft asphalt runway provides 1,381 ft more length than the turf cross-runway; 18/36 adds a north–south alignment but without the length or hard surface of 09/27. Nearby chart coverage ranges from just two charts at Monmouth Municipal to nine at Southeast Iowa Regional. Galesburg Regional matches Macomb’s total, while Ingersoll and Fort Madison have slightly thinner sets. The Chicago Sectional adds wider visual-navigation context absent from the terminal procedures.
