Narrative:
Cleared for ILS runway 27 approach at iah in VMC. We've done it hundreds of times before. I gave the minimum required approach brief for a VFR approach. Only 1 problem -- the approach has been changed recently and we didn't catch the new mandatory crossing altitudes! We did not have any known conflict, but we did cross 1 fix about 500 ft high. We learned our lesson -- don't take anything for granted, and the minimum approach brief might not be adequate. Tower told us 'no problem.'

Title: FLC OF A B737-500 FAILED TO MAKE ALT XING RESTRS FOR AN ILS APCH DUE TO FAILURE TO REVIEW RECENT CHANGES IN THE PUBLISHED APCH CHART.
Narrative: CLRED FOR ILS RWY 27 APCH AT IAH IN VMC. WE'VE DONE IT HUNDREDS OF TIMES BEFORE. I GAVE THE MINIMUM REQUIRED APCH BRIEF FOR A VFR APCH. ONLY 1 PROB -- THE APCH HAS BEEN CHANGED RECENTLY AND WE DIDN'T CATCH THE NEW MANDATORY XING ALTS! WE DID NOT HAVE ANY KNOWN CONFLICT, BUT WE DID CROSS 1 FIX ABOUT 500 FT HIGH. WE LEARNED OUR LESSON -- DON'T TAKE ANYTHING FOR GRANTED, AND THE MINIMUM APCH BRIEF MIGHT NOT BE ADEQUATE. TWR TOLD US 'NO PROB.'
