David Wayne Hooks Meml Airport is in Houston, Texas. Field elevation is 152.4 ft MSL. It has three runways. The longest is 7,009 ft on 17R/35L. The airport is towered from 0700 to 2200. One ILS is published for runway 17R. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Gill Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. Call them at (281) 376-5436 for current service details. The airport also has published notes that matter for planning. There is a noise sensitive area southwest of the field. Large aircraft have taxi restrictions, so verify taxi routing if you are operating a heavier airplane. Taxiways are unlighted. Birds and deer are reported in and around the airport.
Runway 17R has published obstruction notes near the threshold. There is also a displaced-threshold note on 35R with trees near the approach path. If you are planning a night arrival or a heavier arrival, review the current Chart Supplement and brief the airport carefully before you go. The field sits in a busy Houston environment, so expect normal towered-airport sequencing and keep the local procedures in mind.
