What KCCR publishes

Airport diagram

The FAA airport diagram for Buchanan Field — runways, taxiways, ramps and hold short lines. Shown in the browser above; the FAA PDF ↗ is the authoritative copy.

Instrument approaches at KCCR

Buchanan Field has 3 published instrument approaches of 3 types (RNAV (GPS), LDA and VOR). 1 of them offers vertical guidance; RNAV (GPS) gives the lowest minimums.

No published approach to runway 01L, 14L, 32R, 14R, 32L, 01R and 19L: landing on those ends in instrument conditions means a circling approach or a visual after breaking out.

Departures and arrivals

Buchanan Field publishes 1 departure procedure (SID) — charted routes from the runway to the en route structure, assigned by ATC in the clearance. It also publishes 1 arrival (STAR), the mirror image: charted routes from the en route structure down to where the approach begins. Each one is in the list at the foot of this page with its continuation pages.

Hot spots at KCCR

The FAA publishes 4 hot spots here but no shapes, so they are not drawn on the map. Brief the descriptions against the airport diagram.

  • HS 1 Wrong SFC Departure Risk. Rwy 32L Run–up area and Twy J. Twy J can be mistaken for Rwy 32L.
  • HS 2 Risk of runway incursion and/or surface incident. Twy J, Twy A, Twy C, and Twy K. Expanse pavement and complex geometry due to converging Twys.
  • HS 3 Runway incursion risk. Rwy 32L apch hold area on Twy A between Twys J and B. Holding Position Marking in an unexpected location.
  • HS 4 Rwy incursion risk. Twys J, B and Rwy 32R run–up area. Potential for expectation bias of run–up area location, and loss of situational awareness due to wide expanse of pavement.

Locations on the airport surface with a history of confusion or runway incursions — brief them against the diagram before taxi. Source: FAA Chart Supplement, reproduced verbatim on the 56-day cycle; the numbers match the circled HS markers on the diagram. Entries marked in magenta are wrong surface hot spots, where aircraft have lined up on or departed the wrong runway or taxiway.

Takeoff, alternate and surface information

  • Takeoff minimums are published for KCCR. Standard is 1 statute mile visibility for one and two engine aircraft (½ mile for more than two) unless this section says otherwise; Part 91 operators are not bound by them but the obstacle notes apply to everyone.
  • Non standard alternate minimums are published: if you file KCCR as an IFR alternate, the required forecast is higher than the default 600-2 for precision or 800-2 for non precision approaches. Check the alternate rule tool.
