Instrument coverage

Oscoda/Wurtsmith pairs an 11,801 ft single runway with instrument approaches to both ends, so the procedure set is not confined to one arrival direction. The mix includes RNAV coverage and an ILS, with localiser capability also represented. Although the runway offers substantial length, there is no second alignment.

Coverage around Oscoda

Among the nearby fields, Alpena County Regional has the broadest chart coverage, while Iosco County has a notably thinner set. Huron County Memorial sits between those extremes; West Branch Community and Gladwin Zettel Memorial match Oscoda/Wurtsmith in total chart count. The Lake Huron Sectional adds the wider visual-navigation context that the airport’s terminal procedures do not provide.
