From the Gulf Coast to the inland pine belt

Houston anchors a sheet spanning south-east Texas, the upper Texas Gulf Coast and western Louisiana, with coverage reaching inland towards central and north-east Texas. The landscape shifts from coastal plains, bays and wetlands along the Gulf to prairie, woodland and the Piney Woods farther north. Routes therefore cross a marked contrast between intricate shorelines, water-rich lowlands and broader inland terrain.

Edges and adjoining coverage

East–west routes continue onto San Antonio to the west or New Orleans to the east. Dallas–Ft Worth adjoins the sheet to the north-west, Memphis to the north-east, and Brownsville to the south-west. Together, these neighbouring sectionals provide continuity for Gulf Coast and inland routes extending beyond the Houston sheet.

More detailed companion views

FAA Terminal Area Chart coverage provides a larger-scale view of the Houston terminal region, while the Helicopter Route Chart is tailored to metropolitan helicopter operations. Both complement the sectional’s broader regional coverage rather than duplicating its purpose.

Common questions

What area does the Houston Sectional Chart cover?

It spans 27.6°N to 32.3°N and 97.9°W to 90.4°W. Airports on the sheet fall within Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. The full list of public-use airports within its coverage is on this page.

Should I download the GeoTIFF or the PDF?

Take the GeoTIFF if you are loading the chart into moving-map software or a flight planner — it is georeferenced, so the software can place it correctly on a map, and it ships with a world file and FGDC metadata at 300 dpi (47.2 MB). Take the PDF to print it or read it on a second screen (102.2 MB); it is the same chart without georeferencing.

Is this the current Houston chart?

This is the FAA edition effective 9 July 2026, which is superseded on 3 September 2026. Visual charts are reissued every 56 days and we publish each new edition on the day it takes effect. It is for flight simulation and reference only — not for real-world navigation.

Which charts adjoin the Houston sheet?

San Antonio to the west, New Orleans to the east, Memphis to the north-east, Dallas-Ft Worth to the north-west and Brownsville to the south-west. Each is linked from this page, so a route running off one edge can be continued on the next sheet.

Is the Houston Sectional Chart free to download?

Yes, with no account required. FAA charts are United States Government works and are not subject to copyright protection in the US under 17 U.S.C. § 105. Guest downloads are speed-capped, so a sheet this size takes a while; PRO members download at full line speed and can take the whole family as one archive.
