Narrative:
ILS runway 27, houston's bush airport depicts a mandatory 2000 ft at 10 mi. This chart is misleading as it shows the 2000 ft, 10 mi on the GS. The chart date is feb/xa/00. We were 1 DOT low at 10 mi and the altitude readout was approximately 2300-2400 ft. The chart should be redrawn to depict the GS and the 2000 ft to intersect at some point inside the 10 mi point.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: CHART FOR IAH RWY 27 ILS IS FOUND TO BE CONFUSING.
Narrative: ILS RWY 27, HOUSTON'S BUSH ARPT DEPICTS A MANDATORY 2000 FT AT 10 MI. THIS CHART IS MISLEADING AS IT SHOWS THE 2000 FT, 10 MI ON THE GS. THE CHART DATE IS FEB/XA/00. WE WERE 1 DOT LOW AT 10 MI AND THE ALT READOUT WAS APPROX 2300-2400 FT. THE CHART SHOULD BE REDRAWN TO DEPICT THE GS AND THE 2000 FT TO INTERSECT AT SOME POINT INSIDE THE 10 MI POINT.
