Procedure coverage

Brooks County’s instrument coverage is limited to two RNAV (GPS) approaches, serving two runway ends. This provides arrivals from both directions on the served alignment, but no alternative approach type. No airport diagram is published. Of the two crossing runways, the 6,006 ft runway provides almost twice the available length of the 3,018 ft runway, making the runway choice consequential for aircraft requiring more distance.

Surrounding chart coverage

Kingsville NAS has a markedly broader procedure set, with 17 charts. Alice International and Nueces County are closer to Brooks County’s four-chart coverage, while Kleberg County and Jim Hogg County have thinner sets. The Brownsville Sectional supplies wider VFR context beyond the instrument procedures, while the US Gulf Coast Helicopter Route Chart adds helicopter-route coverage for the area.
