Instrument coverage

Denison Municipal’s two published approaches are both RNAV (GPS) procedures and together serve two of the airport’s four runway ends. Instrument coverage is therefore limited to half of the available ends, with no alternative approach type in the set. The 5,000 ft concrete runway offers 1,800 ft more length than the 3,200 ft turf runway; on runway length alone, an aircraft requiring more than 3,200 ft is confined to 12/30.

Nearby chart coverage

Arthur N Neu matches Denison with four published charts. Each of the other listed nearby airports has three, so their chart sets are only slightly thinner rather than substantially different. The Omaha Sectional adds the surrounding visual-navigation context that the instrument procedures and minima sheets do not provide.
