Concentrated instrument coverage

Marfa Municipal’s two approaches both serve a single runway end, despite the field having three runway alignments. The RNAV (GPS) and VOR procedures provide different forms of guidance to that end, but no published approach reaches any of the other five ends. The runway layout is therefore much broader than the instrument coverage. Runway 13/31 offers 6,203 ft of asphalt and 04/22 offers 5,309 ft, while the 2,825 ft dirt 09/27 is less than half the length of the longest runway.

Regional chart context

Alpine-Casparis Municipal has the broadest nearby chart set, with six charts against Marfa’s four. Culberson County is slightly thinner with three, and Presidio Lely International thinner again with two. The El Paso Sectional adds regional VFR context beyond the procedures focused on Marfa’s single instrument-served runway end.

Common questions about KMRF

What charts are available for KMRF?

4 current FAA charts for Marfa Muni, including 2 instrument approachs. All are free to download as PDFs from this page, from the 6 August 2026 cycle.

What are the radio frequencies for KMRF?

CTAF 122.8. Full civil VHF list, with sector notes, is in the frequencies table on this page — from the FAA NASR subscription.

How long is the runway at KMRF?

Marfa Muni has 3 runways. The longest is 13/31 at 6,203 ft by 75 ft, asphalt. Full runway dimensions, lighting and approach aids are listed on this page.

Does KMRF have an ILS approach?

No ILS is published. In total KMRF has 2 published instrument approaches, of which 1 are RNAV (GPS).

Which runway do instrument approaches serve at KMRF?

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 KMRF a towered airport?

No — Marfa 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 KMRF 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They are from the FAA cycle effective 6 August 2026, which is superseded on 3 September 2026.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.

Bulk archives are a PRO benefit. Individual charts are free for everyone, always.
