Manistee County/Blacker’s three approach plates serve two runway ends and combine an ILS and localiser with two RNAV (GPS) procedures. This gives the field both precision and satellite-based instrument coverage, rather than concentrating every procedure on one direction. The marked difference between the 5,501 ft and 2,721 ft runways also makes the longer alignment relevant to aircraft needing substantially more runway distance.
Wexford County has nearly comparable procedure coverage, while Mason County and Frankfort Dow Memorial Field are slightly thinner; Baldwin Municipal has the narrowest nearby set. The Chicago, Green Bay and Lake Huron sectionals add broad-area VFR context beyond the airport diagram and instrument procedures.
