Approach and runway coverage

Great Falls International has instrument approaches serving all four ends of its two runways, rather than concentrating coverage on a single alignment. The mix includes ILS, RNAV (GPS), VOR and localiser procedures, with CAT II/III minima available on one ILS. Runway choice materially changes the length available: 03/21 is 4,472 ft longer than 17/35, while the two alignments provide distinct options within the published procedure set.

Regional chart context

Helena Regional has a similarly broad terminal chart collection, with slightly more published charts than Great Falls. Fort Benton, Choteau, Conrad and Stanford/Biggerstaff Field each have much thinner coverage, at three charts apiece. The Great Falls Sectional adds the wider VFR context around the airport that is outside the narrower scope of the terminal procedures and airport diagram.
