Scholes Intl at Galveston (KGLS) has 2 runways. The longest is Runway 18/36 at 6,001 ft. It is concrete. Runway 14/32 is 6,000 ft and asphalt-concrete. The field elevation is 5.6 ft MSL. The tower is open daily from 0600 to 1800. ILS is published for Runway 14. That makes 14 a key runway to brief before arrival. No LAHSO notes are published. No noise abatement notes are published. The runway system is simple, but the short difference in length means both ends deserve a look before you file or brief the approach.
