Approach coverage across both runways

The six approach plates collectively provide ILS, localiser and RNAV (GPS) procedures, with coverage extending to all four runway ends. Instrument access is therefore distributed across both runway alignments rather than concentrated on a single end. Runway 13/31 is 2,601 ft longer than 18/36, giving the field two distinctly different runway-length options while retaining published approaches for each alignment.

Regional chart context

Nearby procedure coverage is much thinner: Wayne Municipal/Stan Morris Field has the broadest listed set with five charts, still fewer than half the total at Sioux Gateway, while Pender Municipal and James G Whiting Memorial Field each have only three. The Omaha Sectional adds the wider visual and regional context that the airport diagram and terminal procedures do not provide.
