Instrument coverage

South Haven Area Regional has one RNAV (GPS) approach for each of two runway ends, leaving the other two ends without a published approach. The set is balanced between the ends it serves but narrow in scope, with no other approach types and no published airport diagram. The 4,800 ft asphalt runway provides 1,540 ft more length than the 3,260 ft turf runway, so available runway distance changes substantially with the alignment used.

Chart context

Nearby procedure coverage is closely grouped. Southwest Michigan Regional and West Michigan Regional each have one more chart than South Haven, while Padgham Field, Dowagiac Municipal and Andrews University Airpark each have one fewer. The Chicago Sectional adds broader VFR context beyond the airport’s instrument procedures.
