Procedure coverage

Vandalia Municipal has two RNAV (GPS) approaches covering two of its four runway ends, leaving the other two without a published instrument approach. No airport diagram accompanies the procedures. Of the crossing runways, 18/36 provides 750 ft more length than 09/27, making runway length notably dependent on the alignment used.

Nearby chart coverage

Salem-Leckrone has chart coverage equal in size to Vandalia’s, while Litchfield Municipal has the broadest nearby set with six published charts. Shelby County’s two-chart set is the thinnest; Greenville and Centralia Municipal each sit just below Vandalia with three. The St Louis Sectional adds the wider visual-navigation context that the airport-specific instrument procedures do not provide.
