What KBYY publishes

Instrument approaches at KBYY

Bay City Regional has 3 published instrument approaches of 2 types (RNAV (GPS) and VOR). 2 of them offer vertical guidance; RNAV (GPS) gives the lowest minimums. One is circling only — bringing you to the airport rather than a runway, to circle for whichever runway the wind favors at circling minimums.

Departures and arrivals

Bay City Regional publishes 7 departure procedures (SIDs) — charted routes from the runway to the en route structure, assigned by ATC in the clearance. It also publishes 2 arrivals (STARs), the mirror image: charted routes from the en route structure down to where the approach begins. Each one is in the list at the foot of this page with its continuation pages.

Takeoff, alternate and surface information

• Takeoff minimums are published for KBYY. Standard is 1 statute mile visibility for one and two engine aircraft (½ mile for more than two) unless this section says otherwise; Part 91 operators are not bound by them but the obstacle notes apply to everyone.
• Non standard alternate minimums are published: if you file KBYY as an IFR alternate, the required forecast is higher than the default 600-2 for precision or 800-2 for non precision approaches. Check the alternate rule tool.
