Approach and runway coverage

Mount Vernon’s instrument coverage serves two runway ends with ILS, localiser and RNAV (GPS) options. The ILS provides precision guidance, while the RNAV procedures add GPS-based coverage. The two fixed-wing runways differ sharply in length: any operation requiring more than 3,146 ft is confined to runway 05/23, which provides 6,496 ft. The published airport diagram also depicts the crossing-runway arrangement and separate heliport.

Surrounding chart coverage

Among nearby fields, Flora Municipal has the closest breadth of published coverage to Mount Vernon, with five charts. Centralia and Salem-Leckrone have smaller sets, while Benton and Fairfield are the thinnest at two charts each. The St Louis Sectional adds the wider visual-navigation context that the airport diagram and instrument procedures do not show.
