Procedure coverage

Big Timber’s instrument coverage is tightly focused: two RNAV (GPS) approaches serve two runway ends, splitting published arrival coverage across two ends rather than concentrating it on one. No departure procedures or airport diagram are published; beyond the approaches, the remaining publications are minimums sheets.

Runways and surrounding coverage

The 5,285 ft asphalt runway is 1,810 ft longer than the turf runway, so the two alignments present materially different combinations of length and surface. Nearby chart coverage is similarly compact at Mission Field, Wheatland County at Harlowton, Laurel Municipal and White Sulphur Springs, whereas Bozeman Yellowstone International’s set is much broader. The Billings and Great Falls sectionals supply wider VFR context beyond the airport-specific instrument procedures.
