George Bush Intercontinental/Houston combines five concrete runways with approach coverage to eight of the ten runway ends, making the procedure set broad but not fully symmetrical. The mix of 18 ILS, 14 RNAV (GPS) and eight localiser approaches provides several guidance options, while four ILS procedures include CAT II/III minima. Runway lengths from 9,000 ft to 12,001 ft mean that even the shortest strip is substantial, with two distinct runway alignments available.
William P Hobby has the broadest nearby procedure set, although its 59 charts remain well short of IAH’s coverage. Conroe/North Houston Regional, David Wayne Hooks Memorial and West Houston carry thinner sets, with Baytown thinner again. The Houston Sectional and Terminal Area Chart add visual airspace context, while the Houston and US Gulf Coast helicopter route charts show route structures absent from the instrument procedures.
