Instrument coverage

All three published approaches at Bert Mooney serve a single runway end, concentrating the ILS, localiser, RNAV (GPS) and VOR coverage in one direction. No published approach serves the opposite end or either end of the second runway. The 9,000 ft runway is 3,900 ft longer than the 5,100 ft runway, making runway length a significant distinction between the two alignments.

Nearby chart coverage

Helena Regional has a substantially broader procedure set, while Ruby Valley Field and Dillon are closest to Bert Mooney in overall chart coverage. Bowman Field and Deer Lodge-City-County have markedly thinner sets. The Great Falls Sectional adds the wider visual-navigation context that is not provided by the airport diagram and instrument procedures.

Common questions about KBTM

What charts are available for KBTM?

7 current FAA charts for Bert Mooney, including 3 instrument approachs, 1 airport diagram. All are free to download as PDFs from this page, from the 6 August 2026 cycle.

What are the radio frequencies for KBTM?

CTAF 123.0. Full civil VHF list, with sector notes, is in the frequencies table on this page — from the FAA NASR subscription.

How long is the runway at KBTM?

Bert Mooney has 2 runways. The longest is 15/33 at 9,000 ft by 150 ft, asphalt. Full runway dimensions, lighting and approach aids are listed on this page.

Does KBTM have an ILS approach?

Yes — 1 ILS procedure is published. In total KBTM has 3 published instrument approaches, of which 1 are RNAV (GPS).

Where can I download the KBTM airport diagram?

The official FAA airport diagram for Bert Mooney is free to download at the top of this page. It shows runways, taxiways, ramp layout and hold-short positions, and is reissued every 28 days.

Which runway do instrument approaches serve at KBTM?

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.

How high is KBTM?

The field elevation is 5,550 ft. At that height the air is thin enough to matter: take-off and landing distances are longer than the same aircraft would need at sea level, and the effect worsens as temperature rises. The approach charts carry the altitudes that apply.

Is KBTM a towered airport?

No — Bert Mooney 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.

Are these KBTM charts current?

They are from the FAA cycle effective 6 August 2026, which is superseded on 3 September 2026. We publish each new cycle on its effective date. They are for flight simulation and reference only — not for real-world navigation.
