Van Wert County’s two RNAV (GPS) approaches serve two runway ends, giving the instrument set balanced arrival coverage rather than concentrating procedures on a single direction. No airport diagram is published, so the collection is limited to approach and minima material rather than ground-layout guidance.
The 5,005 ft asphalt runway provides nearly twice the available length of the 2,558 ft turf runway, making the latter a distinctly shorter second alignment rather than an equivalent parallel choice. Among nearby fields, Fort Wayne International has much broader procedure coverage with 14 charts; Lima Allen County is only slightly broader with five, while Lakefield, Neil Armstrong and Defiance Memorial each have thinner three-chart sets. The Detroit Sectional adds the wider visual-navigation context not supplied by the instrument procedures.
