Approach coverage

Illinois Valley Regional–Walter A Duncan Field has two RNAV (GPS) approaches serving two of its four runway ends. That provides one published approach per served end, without alternative approach types or instrument coverage for every direction. The 5,999 ft runway is 2,000 ft longer than runway 07/25, giving the two-runway layout a marked difference in available length.

Nearby chart coverage

Rochelle Municipal/Koritz Field has the same number of published charts, while Whiteside County/Jos H Bittorf Field and Morris Municipal/James R Washburn Field have broader sets. Marshall County and Dixon Municipal–Charles R Walgreen Field are slightly thinner. The Chicago Sectional adds the wider visual and geographic context around Peru that the airport-specific instrument procedures do not provide.
