Two RNAV-served runway ends

Montevideo-Chippewa County has RNAV (GPS) approaches to two of its four runway ends, leaving the other two without published instrument approaches. The 3,999-ft asphalt runway provides substantially more distance than the 2,361-ft turf runway; aircraft requiring more than the turf strip can provide are therefore limited to one runway alignment.

Coverage beyond KMVE

Nearby procedure coverage is closely grouped. Willmar has the broadest set with five charts, while Lac Qui Parle County and Benson match KMVE’s four; Granite Falls and Appleton each have a slightly thinner three-chart set. The Twin Cities Sectional adds the broader visual planning context that the airport’s RNAV procedures and minima sheets do not provide.
