Dane County Regional/Truax Field has published approaches to all six runway ends. The mix is unusually broad: ILS and RNAV (GPS) procedures are supplemented by VOR and localiser approaches, while one ILS includes CAT II/III minima. The chart set is therefore strongly approach-focused, with no departure procedures listed for this cycle.
Runway 18/36 is 1,806 ft longer than 03/21 and 3,160 ft longer than 14/32, making runway selection significant in terms of physical length. Among nearby fields, Middleton Municipal/Morey Field has the broadest chart coverage, though still much thinner than MSN; the other listed airports have only two or three charts each. The Chicago Sectional adds the wider visual-navigation context around Madison that terminal procedure charts do not provide.
