Fairbanks International’s procedures serve four runway ends, with equal numbers of ILS and RNAV (GPS) approaches plus additional localiser coverage. One ILS includes CAT II/III minima, giving the chart set a capability beyond standard ILS procedures. Only runway 02L/20R provides more than 4,510 ft of paved length, making it the clear focus for aircraft requiring a longer paved runway. The shorter asphalt, gravel and water runways provide distinctly different operating dimensions and surfaces.
Eielson AFB has chart coverage close in breadth to Fairbanks, while Ladd AAF and Nenana Municipal have much thinner procedure sets. The Fairbanks Sectional adds broader visual-navigation and geographic context that the airport-specific instrument procedures do not provide.

Yes. Fairbanks Intl has an operating control tower, within Anchorage Center's airspace. Tower, ground and clearance frequencies are listed on this page.
4, which is why the chart set is as large as it is — each runway end that supports an instrument approach needs its own plates. The runway diagram on this page shows the layout to scale.
