George Bush Intercontinental/Houston is United's Houston hub. Five surveyed runways span three east-west arrival strips and two diagonal departure strips, with international and cargo traffic mixed into the bank.

You work Houston Approach. Houston Airports documents west flow arrivals on 26R, 26L and 27, and east flow arrivals on 8R, 8L and 9. Departures use 15L and 15R in both modeled configurations. Published FAA procedures feed the arriving and departing streams.

The Heavy tier brings sustained parallel-runway sequencing, wake spacing and cross-flow departure timing. Carrier weights, route subset and traffic cadence are game calibration. Terrain, minimum vectoring altitudes and MSAW are not modeled.
