Selective instrument coverage

Beaver Island has two RNAV (GPS) approaches, each serving a different runway end. With six ends across three runways, instrument coverage is therefore selective rather than available for every alignment. The 4,299 ft asphalt runway provides substantially more length than either turf runway; the shortest turf strip, at 2,054 ft, places the greatest constraint on aircraft requiring more runway.

Nearby and VFR chart coverage

Charlevoix Municipal, Schoolcraft County and Harbor Springs each match Beaver Island’s four-chart coverage. Pellston Regional/Emmet County has the broadest nearby set with seven charts, while Mackinac County’s three-chart set is thinner. The Green Bay and Lake Huron sectional charts add the wider visual-navigation context absent from the airport’s instrument procedures, particularly useful here because no airport diagram is published.
