Instrument coverage is concentrated

Monte Vista Municipal’s three approaches all serve a single runway end: two use RNAV (GPS) and one uses VOR guidance. This provides both satellite-based and VOR options for the same arrival direction, but no published approach coverage for any other runway end. There is also no separate FAA airport diagram.

Runways and surrounding coverage

The 5,902 ft asphalt runway is substantially longer than the two dirt runways, at 2,100 and 2,300 ft. Those shorter strips add alignments, but their dimensions restrict the aircraft able to use them compared with Runway 02/20. San Luis Valley Regional/Bergman Field has broader chart coverage nearby, Astronaut Kent Rominger has a comparable set, and Stevens Field is thinner. The Denver Sectional supplies the broader visual context absent from the instrument procedures.

Common questions about KMVI

What charts are available for KMVI?

4 current FAA charts for Monte Vista Muni, including 3 instrument approachs. All are free to download as PDFs from this page, from the 6 August 2026 cycle.

What are the radio frequencies for KMVI?

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 KMVI?

Monte Vista Muni has 3 runways. The longest is 02/20 at 5,902 ft by 60 ft, asphalt. Full runway dimensions, lighting and approach aids are listed on this page.

Does KMVI have an ILS approach?

No ILS is published. In total KMVI has 3 published instrument approaches, of which 2 are RNAV (GPS).

Which runway do instrument approaches serve at KMVI?

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.

How high is KMVI?

The field elevation is 7,611 ft. At that height the air is thin enough to matter: take-off and landing distances are longer than the same aircraft would need at sea level, and the effect worsens as temperature rises. The approach charts carry the altitudes that apply.

Is KMVI a towered airport?

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They are from the FAA cycle effective 6 August 2026, which is superseded on 3 September 2026.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

Wider chart sets

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

Flying into KMVI? PRO members take all 4 charts as one ZIP instead of 4 separate downloads, at full line speed with no cap — plus every chart family archive and all 24,000+ add-ons in the library.
