Approach and runway coverage

Every runway end at Minneapolis–St Paul has published approach coverage, with ILS, RNAV (GPS) and localiser procedures represented. Thirteen ILS approaches include four with CAT II/III minima, giving the set a substantial precision and low-visibility component rather than relying chiefly on RNAV. The layout combines parallel 12/30 strips with two other alignments. All four concrete runways are at least 8,000 ft long, and two reach 10,000 ft or more, spreading approach coverage across several long runways.

Surrounding chart context

St Paul Downtown and Flying Cloud have the nearest comparably broad procedure sets, with 25 and 24 charts respectively. South St Paul is much thinner at six, while Crystal and Airlake each have ten. The Green Bay and Twin Cities sectionals extend the VFR view beyond the terminal procedures; the Minneapolis–St Paul Terminal Area Chart adds more focused local VFR detail.

How long is the runway at KMSP?

Minneapolis-St Paul Intl/Wold-Chamberlain has 4 runways. The longest is 04/22 at 11,006 ft by 150 ft, concrete. Full runway dimensions, lighting and approach aids are listed on this page.

Does KMSP have an ILS approach?

Yes — 13 ILS procedures are published, including CAT II/III minima. In total KMSP has 28 published instrument approaches, of which 12 are RNAV (GPS).

Where can I download the KMSP airport diagram?

The official FAA airport diagram for Minneapolis-St Paul Intl/Wold-Chamberlain is free to download at the top of this page. It shows runways, taxiways, ramp layout and hold-short positions, and is reissued every 28 days.

Does KMSP have CAT II or CAT III approaches?

Yes. 4 of the published ILS procedures carry CAT II/III minima, which allow approaches in lower visibility than a standard CAT I ILS. Those plates are listed separately in the approach table above, marked CAT II or CAT III in the chart name.

Is KMSP a towered airport?

Yes. Minneapolis-St Paul Intl/Wold-Chamberlain has an operating control tower, within Minneapolis Center's airspace. Tower, ground and clearance frequencies are listed on this page.

How many runways does KMSP have?

4, which is why the chart set is as large as it is — each runway end that supports an instrument approach needs its own plates. The runway diagram on this page shows the layout to scale.

Are these KMSP charts current?

They are from the FAA cycle effective 3 September 2026, which is superseded on 1 October 2026. We publish each new cycle on its effective date. They are for flight simulation and reference only — not for real-world navigation.
