Procedure coverage

Scholes International’s six approach charts serve all four ends of its two runways, rather than concentrating instrument access on one alignment. The mix includes ILS and localiser guidance alongside RNAV (GPS) and VOR procedures. Departure procedures substantially outnumber approaches, making the overall chart set notably weighted towards outbound routing. Runways 14/32 and 18/36 are almost identical in length at about 6,000 ft, providing two alignments without a meaningful difference in published runway distance.

Nearby and VFR coverage

Ellington and William P Hobby have broader chart collections nearby, while Pearland Regional and RWJ Airpark are much thinner; La Porte Municipal falls between them. The Houston Sectional supplies wider visual context, the Terminal Area Chart adds more detailed terminal coverage, and the US Gulf Coast Helicopter Route Chart shows the separate helicopter route structure around Galveston.
