Instrument approaches at KCBM
Columbus AFB has 14 published instrument approaches of 4 types (ILS, RNAV (GPS), VOR and TACAN). 10 of them offer vertical guidance; ILS gives the lowest minimums. 4 are circling only — bringing you to the airport rather than a runway, to circle for whichever runway the wind favors at circling minimums.
No published approach to runway 13R and 31L: landing on those ends in instrument conditions means a circling approach or a visual after breaking out.
