Default Houston Hobby?

Thanks!

Houston Hobby is a total non-event for the little airplane driver.
They even have a flight school - solo students fly in and out of there.
No landing fee.

The hardest part is taxiing on the surface. Get a copy of the taxiway
diagram - it will put you one step ahead.

The key thing is LISTEN for your call sign, fly the assigned headings,
and look for the airport. If you talk to approach, they usually want
you to report the field in sight before the handoff to tower. The
earlier you can take the handoff, the easier it is. If you are sloppy
about your headings/altitudes or require more than one call on the
radio, you may get penalty vectors to Sugarland, adding 5-10 minutes to
your flight.
