Approach coverage

Hutson Fld’s two RNAV (GPS) approaches serve two of its four runway ends, leaving half the runway ends without a published approach. RNAV (GPS) is the only approach type represented, and there is no published airport diagram. The longer runway is turf, while the asphalt runway is 176 ft shorter; choosing the paved strip therefore means using the shorter of the two runways.

Nearby chart context

Cavalier Municipal has the same overall chart count, while Hallock Municipal and Grand Forks AFB have broader coverage. Grand Forks International stands apart with a substantially larger procedure set; Park River–W C Skjerven Fld is thinner. The Twin Cities Sectional adds surrounding VFR and visual context not provided by Hutson Fld’s compact instrument set.
