Instrument approaches at KBRO
Brownsville/South Padre Island International has 6 published instrument approaches of 4 types (ILS, RNAV (GPS), LOC and VOR). 4 of them offer vertical guidance; ILS gives the lowest minimums. One is circling only — bringing you to the airport rather than a runway, to circle for whichever runway the wind favors at circling minimums.
No published approach to runway 36: landing on that end in instrument conditions means a circling approach or a visual after breaking out.
Takeoff, alternate and surface information
