Laurence G Hanscom Field’s five approach plates serve three of its four runway ends. The mix includes ILS and localiser procedures alongside RNAV (GPS), providing both precision and satellite-based approach coverage rather than relying on one procedure family. Runway 11/29 offers 1,904 ft more length than 05/23, while the two runway alignments give the published procedures scope to serve more than one direction.
Lawrence Municipal and Beverly Regional have chart sets nearly as broad as BED’s, while Norwood Memorial is thinner and Minute Man Air Field much thinner. Logan International has substantially more published procedures. For VFR planning, the New York Sectional supplies wider-area coverage, while the Boston Terminal Area Chart adds more detailed terminal-area context around Bedford.
