Procedure coverage

Washburn Municipal’s compact set centres on two RNAV (GPS) approaches serving two runway ends. Published instrument access is therefore not concentrated on a single end. No separate FAA airport diagram accompanies the procedure material.

Runways and nearby chart sets

The concrete runway is 1,496 ft longer than the turf runway. Only 08/26 meets a runway-length requirement between 2,205 and 3,700 ft, and it is the sole concrete option. Among nearby fields, Bismarck Municipal has the broadest chart coverage, with Mandan Regional/Lawler Field also carrying a larger set than Washburn. Glen Ullin Regional has thinner coverage, while Mercer County Regional and Garrison Municipal are closest in chart volume. The Billings and Twin Cities sectionals add broader VFR context beyond the airport-specific procedures.
