Albert Lea Municipal’s two published approaches are both RNAV (GPS) procedures and together serve only two of its four runway ends. Published approach choice is therefore limited to half of the available runway directions, with no other approach type represented. With no airport diagram, the compact set concentrates on these procedures and supporting minima rather than ground-layout detail.
Runway 17/35 provides 2,102 ft more length than 05/23, making it the clear choice when the shorter runway’s 2,898 ft is inadequate; 05/23 adds another alignment but not comparable distance. Nearby chart coverage is tightly grouped: Owatonna Degner Regional has the broadest set, Austin and Forest City sit between, while Waseca and Dodge Center match Albert Lea’s thinner coverage. The Chicago, Green Bay and Omaha sectionals add wider-area VFR context beyond the airport-specific approach and minima sheets.
