Ellington’s 16 approaches serve four of its six runway ends, leaving instrument coverage concentrated rather than evenly distributed across all three runway alignments. The combination of ILS, localiser and RNAV (GPS) procedures provides both ground-based and satellite-based options, while the unusually large departure set gives outbound procedures greater prominence than approaches. Two runways exceed 8,000 ft, with the third markedly shorter at 4,609 ft, creating a clear distinction in available runway length.
William P Hobby has chart coverage almost identical in breadth to Ellington’s. La Porte Municipal and Houston/Southwest also carry substantial procedure sets, while Pearland Regional and Baytown are more thinly covered. Beyond the instrument material, the Houston sectional and terminal area chart provide broader VFR context, while two helicopter route charts add dedicated routing information for helicopter operations.
