Balanced coverage for one long runway

Grand Forks AFB has six approaches serving both ends of its sole 12,351 ft runway. The mix of ILS, RNAV (GPS) and localiser procedures provides precision and non-precision coverage without leaving either runway direction unserved. Its length accommodates aircraft with substantial runway-distance requirements, although the single 18/36 alignment provides no second runway orientation.

Chart coverage nearby

Grand Forks International, nine nautical miles east, has twice as many published charts and is the only nearby field with comparably broad procedure coverage. Northwood, Hutson Field, Park River and Warren have much thinner sets, with only two or three charts each. The Twin Cities Sectional adds the wider visual context around the airport that the airport diagram and instrument procedures do not show.
