Procedure coverage

Elbow Lake pairs two RNAV (GPS) approaches with two served runway ends, giving instrument coverage in both directions rather than concentrating it on one end. No airport diagram is published, so the procedure set is limited to the approaches and associated minimums sheets.

Runways and surrounding coverage

The longer landing area is the 4,127 ft water runway; wheeled aircraft instead have 3,401 ft of asphalt on 14/32, so the larger figure does not describe the available paved length. Fergus Falls Regional and Alexandria Regional each have broader seven-chart sets, while Morris Municipal, Wheaton Municipal and Harry Stern match Elbow Lake’s four-chart total. The Twin Cities Sectional adds the wider visual-navigation context absent from the instrument procedures.
