No published approach to runway 31: landing on that end in instrument conditions means a circling approach or a visual after breaking out.
Hot spots at KEAR
The FAA publishes 1 hot spot here but no shapes, so they are not drawn on the map. Brief the descriptions against the airport diagram.
- HS 1 Angle and close proximity of rwy intersection creates visibility blind spot for Rwy 13 departures with regard to Rwy 18 tfc. Slight terrain rise further blocks line of sight.
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.
Takeoff, alternate and surface information
- Takeoff minimums are published for KEAR. 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 KEAR 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.
