Texas Gulf Coast Rgnl is in Angleton and Lake Jackson, Texas. The field sits at 25.2 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 17/35 is 7,000 ft of concrete, so it gives you solid room for piston work and many light turbine arrivals. There is no control tower. Clearance delivery is handled through Houston Approach. The airport has one ILS approach on runway 17. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise.
The on-field FBO is Texas Gulf Coast Regional Airport. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Published remarks say 100LL is available 24 hours self service. They also note that after-hours Jet A support is available by phone. Runway 17/35 has medium intensity lights preset to low. Use CTAF to raise intensity and to activate the medium intensity approach lighting system with runway alignment indicator lights on runway 17. PAPI is available on both runway ends and operates continuously. This field is close to Lake Jackson. Expect local traffic and plan your arrival with the Houston Approach frequencies in mind. If you are bringing a larger aircraft with more than 30 passengers, check the airport manager before you go.
