Concentrated instrument coverage

Whiteside County/Jos H Bittorf Field’s instrument procedures serve two of its four runway ends. The mix includes an ILS, RNAV (GPS) and localiser procedures, giving the served ends more than one form of guidance rather than spreading coverage across both runways. Runway 07/25, at 6,499 ft, is substantially longer than 18/36 at 3,900 ft; aircraft requiring the greater available length are therefore tied to the 07/25 alignment.

Coverage around KSQI

Among nearby fields, Clinton Municipal has the broadest published procedure set, while Dixon Municipal–Charles R Walgreen Field has the thinnest. Tri-Township, Rochelle Municipal/Koritz Field and Albertus fall between them. The Chicago Sectional adds the surrounding visual-navigation context that the terminal instrument charts do not provide.
