Area 5 is located in the southern portion of ZMP and overlays portions of IA, NE, SD, MN, KS and MO. There are 6 sectors: 3 low altitude sectors, 2 high altitude sectors and 1 super high altitude sector. Area 5 is bordered by ZDV to the west, ZKC to the south and ZAU to the east. Within Area 5 there are 7 radar approach control facilities, one VFR tower and numerous uncontrolled airports. Area 5 handles arrivals into and departures out of the different approach control facilities, issues departure and approach clearances to aircraft into and out of uncontrolled and class E surface area airports. Area 5 also has military airspace that the low altitude sectors are responsible for. Along with the military training areas, there are also 2 refueling tracks. In the multiple areas of non-radar, non-radar rules will be utilized for separation. Area 5’s high altitude sectors deal mostly with east/west traffic along with MSP departures climbing to altitude. Spacing for ORD, JFK and DEN are an everyday occurrence.
