What KBZN publishes
Airport diagram
The FAA airport diagram for Bozeman Yellowstone International — runways, taxiways, ramps and hold short lines. Shown in the browser above; the FAA PDF ↗ is the authoritative copy.
Instrument approaches at KBZN
Bozeman Yellowstone International has 10 published instrument approaches of 4 types (ILS, RNAV (RNP), RNAV (GPS) and VOR). 9 of them offer vertical guidance; ILS 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.
No published approach to runway 11, 29, 11G, 29G, 03 and 21: landing on those ends in instrument conditions means a circling approach or a visual after breaking out.
Departures and arrivals
Bozeman Yellowstone International publishes 4 departure procedures (SIDs) — charted routes from the runway to the en route structure, assigned by ATC in the clearance. It also publishes 5 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.
Hot spots at KBZN
The FAA publishes 1 hot spot here but no shapes, so they are not drawn on the map. Brief the descriptions against the airport diagram.
- HS 1 Pilots taxiing via Twy A to Rwy 30 for departure sometimes fail to hold short of Rwy 03–21.
Locations on the airport surface with a history of confusion or runway incursions — brief them against the diagram before taxi. Source: FAA Chart Supplement, reproduced verbatim on the 56-day cycle; the numbers match the circled HS markers on the diagram.
Takeoff, alternate and surface information
- Takeoff minimums are published for KBZN. 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.
- Bozeman Yellowstone International has an obstacle departure procedure (ODP): the charted way to clear terrain and obstacles after takeoff in instrument conditions. ATC does not assign it; under Part 91 it is recommended rather than required, and it is what you fly when no SID or radar vectors have been given.
- Non standard alternate minimums are published: if you file KBZN 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.
- Land and hold short operations (LAHSO) are conducted here. The plate lists which runway intersections and the available landing distance for each; a pilot may always decline a LAHSO clearance.
