What KFDK publishes

Airport diagram

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

Instrument approaches at KFDK

Frederick Municipal has 4 published instrument approaches of 2 types (ILS and RNAV (GPS)). 4 of them offer vertical guidance; ILS gives the lowest minimums.

No published approach to runway 12 and 30: landing on those ends in instrument conditions means a circling approach or a visual after breaking out.

Departures and arrivals

Frederick Municipal publishes 4 departure procedures (SIDs) — 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 KFDK

The FAA publishes 3 hot spots here but no shapes, so they are not drawn on the map. Brief the descriptions against the airport diagram.

  • HS 1 Northbound tfc on Twy A must remain alert as to not miss Twy B when taxiing to Rwy 30 and Southeast bound tfc on Twy B as not to miss Twy A when taxiing to Rwy 23.
  • HS 2 Northbound tfc on Twy A need to be alert as not to miss Twy B and inadvertently taxi onto Rwy 30.

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 KFDK. 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 KFDK 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.
