Hot spots at KHOU

2 hot spots drawn on the map, with the Chart Supplement’s description for each.

  • HS 1 Rwy Incursion Risk– Twy G at Rwy 13R: Numerous incursions, pilots inadvertently miss Hold Lines on Twy G at Rwy 13R.
  • HS 2 Rwy Incursion Risk. Twy E crosses Rwy 13L approach. Runway Holding Position Markings are crossed inadvertently.

Locations on the airport surface with a history of confusion or runway incursions — brief them against the diagram before taxi. Source: FAA Chart Supplement, reproduced verbatim on the 56-day cycle; the numbers match the circled HS markers on the diagram.

Takeoff, alternate and surface information

  • Takeoff minimums are published for KHOU. Standard is 1 statute mile visibility for one and two engine aircraft (½ mile for more than two) unless this section says otherwise; Part 91 operators are not bound by them but the obstacle notes apply to everyone.
  • Non standard alternate minimums are published: if you file KHOU as an IFR alternate, the required forecast is higher than the default 600-2 for precision or 800-2 for non precision approaches. Check the alternate rule tool.
