Airport diagram
The FAA airport diagram for Purdue University — runways, taxiways, ramps and hold short lines. Shown in the browser above; the FAA PDF ↗ is the authoritative copy.
Instrument approaches at KLAF
Purdue University has 4 published instrument approaches of 3 types (ILS, RNAV (GPS) and VOR). 3 of them offer vertical guidance; ILS gives the lowest minimums. One is 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 05 and 23: landing on those ends in instrument conditions means a circling approach or a visual after breaking out.
Takeoff, alternate and surface information
- Takeoff minimums are published for KLAF. 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 KLAF 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.
- Land and hold short operations (LAHSO) are conducted here. The plate lists which runway intersections and the available landing distance for each; a pilot may always decline a LAHSO clearance.
