Procedure coverage

Drummond Island has RNAV (GPS) approaches serving two of its four runway ends. Instrument arrival coverage is therefore limited to half of the available alignments, with no other approach type published. There is also no dedicated airport diagram in the set.

Runways and nearby coverage

The 4,000 ft asphalt runway provides 1,500 ft more length than the mixed asphalt-turf runway, making runway dimensions and construction significant distinctions when matching an aircraft to the field. Among nearby airports, Chippewa County International has the broadest chart coverage by a clear margin. Bois Blanc Island and Presque Isle County have chart sets comparable in size to Drummond Island’s, while Mackinac Island and Sault Ste Marie Municipal/Sanderson Field sit only slightly above them. The Lake Huron sectional adds broader visual and airspace context absent from the procedure sheets.
