Approach coverage

Three GPS approaches cover three of Prairie du Chien’s four runway ends, leaving one direction without a published instrument approach. The two-runway layout provides a choice of alignments, while the 5,000 ft runway offers 1,001 ft more available length than the other strip.

Local chart context

Published chart coverage at nearby fields is broadly similar but varies at the margins: Platteville has the largest set, while George L Scott Municipal has the thinnest. Boscobel, Decorah and Viroqua sit between those two with equal-sized collections. The Chicago Sectional adds the wider visual-navigation context around Prairie du Chien that is not supplied by the airport’s GPS approach charts.
