Minnesota's communities and aviation interest groups have worked in partnership with the Federal Aviation Administration and the Minnesota Office of Aeronautics to provide some of the finest airport facilities, navigational aids, and weather-access systems in the nation. This system of airports allows travelers to access more than one hundred and forty communities throughout the state. This access helps communities to attract new businesses and businesses to attract new customers as well as accommodating those traveling in Minnesota for pleasure and those just passing through. In this directory we have compiled information vital to pilots for safely using our airports. Included in this directory are "Hot Spot Charts" for Minnesota's tower-controlled airports. These "Hot Spots" are places on the airport where there is a higher probability of a runway incursion. We hope these pages help raise awareness to the problem of runway incursions at tower-controlled and non-towered airports alike. This directory also contains information about facilities and events in the communities. We hope you will find this information useful in planning your flights within Minnesota and I encourage you to explore new locations and get to know the people that make Minnesota a great state.
