James Clements Municipal combines two asphalt runways with three water runways, yet its instrument coverage is limited to a single RNAV (GPS) approach serving only one runway end. The remaining runway ends have no published approach. At 3,798 ft, the longer asphalt runway provides the principal paved length; the other is 2,599 ft. No airport diagram is published.
MBS International has the broadest nearby procedure set, with 11 charts. Saginaw County/H W Browne has six, while Jack Barstow and Owosso Community each have five; Tuscola Area has four. All therefore have broader chart coverage than James Clements Municipal. The Detroit and Lake Huron sectional charts add the wider visual-navigation context absent from the airport’s small instrument set.

No ILS is published. In total 3CM has 1 published instrument approach, of which 1 are RNAV (GPS).
Every published approach serves one runway end. There is no instrument procedure to the reciprocal direction, so an arrival in instrument conditions commits to that single approach direction regardless of the wind.
No — James Clements Muni has no control tower. Traffic co-ordinates on a common frequency rather than with a controller, which is listed in the frequencies table on this page.
5, which is why the chart set is as large as it is — each runway end that supports an instrument approach needs its own plates. The runway diagram on this page shows the layout to scale.
