Instrument coverage across both runways

Williston Basin International’s procedure set serves all four runway ends rather than concentrating instrument access on a single alignment. Its six approach charts combine RNAV (GPS) coverage with ILS, localiser and VOR options. The runway lengths create a practical distinction: any aircraft requiring more than 4,502 ft is limited by length to Runway 14/32, which provides 7,503 ft.

Regional chart context

Nearby procedure coverage is markedly thinner. Sidney-Richland Regional has the broadest neighbouring set with five charts, while each of the other listed airports has four, compared with ten at XWA. The Billings Sectional adds regional VFR context beyond the airport-specific terminal procedures.
