Approach and runway coverage

Chan Gurney Municipal’s instrument coverage reaches only two of its four runway ends. The combination of ILS, localiser and RNAV procedures provides both ground-based and satellite-guided options, but not across every available alignment. Runway 13/31 is 2,714 ft longer than 02/20, making the runway choices markedly unequal for aircraft requiring greater take-off or landing distance.

Regional chart context

Among nearby fields, Harold Davidson Field has the closest comparable chart coverage, with four published charts against Chan Gurney Municipal’s five. Each of the other listed airports has three, giving them a distinctly thinner published set by count. The Omaha Sectional adds the wider visual-reference context around Yankton that the airport’s terminal procedures do not provide.
