Approach coverage

Harry Stern’s instrument set is tightly focused: two RNAV (GPS) approaches serve two runway ends, with no other approach type represented. That provides published instrument procedures from two directions, but no airport diagram accompanies them.

Runways and nearby coverage

Runway 15/33 provides 5,100 ft of concrete, while 03/21 is 3,254 ft of turf. The 1,846 ft difference means any operation requiring more than 3,254 ft is confined to 15/33. Among nearby fields, Fergus Falls Regional has the broadest chart set, while Robert Odegaard Field has the thinnest; the other three match Harry Stern’s four-chart total. The Twin Cities Sectional adds wider VFR context not supplied by the terminal procedures.
