Description
For pilots who fly in the Texas and Louisiana Gulf Coast region, the FAA's Houston Sectional Aeronautical Chart is the low-cost, info-packed source of situational-awareness-enhancing aviation data that'll help them stay safe and informed from takeoff to touchdown. Like all charts in the FAA's Sectional series, this foldable, full-color chart is loaded with valuable aviation data including airport info (runway lengths, lighting, elevation, services available, surface type, etc.); airspace dimensions; VHF and LF/MF navigational facilities (frequency, ID, and channel); landmarks; cities & towns; elevation/topographic info; ATC entities and associated contact/radio frequencies; bodies of water; obstructions; and much, much more.
The Houston Sectional covers Southeastern Texas and much of Southern Louisiana, including a large portion of the Gulf Coast and even a sliver of Mississippi. Uses the standard 1:500,000 (6.86 nm per inch; 2.70 nm per cm) scale characteristic of sectional charts. Updated every six months. An affordable, intuitive source of need-to-know FAA info that should be included in every Gulf Coast pilot's flight bag.
