Runway Requirements

The Beechcraft Baron G58 is a multi engine piston aircraft (MTOW 2,495 kg). At sea level under standard conditions, expect approximately 2,200 ft takeoff distance. With KATL field elevation of 1,026 ft, density altitude penalty pushes that to roughly 2,471 ft (a 12% increase). Always cross-reference your specific aircraft POH performance charts and current weather for actual TOD/LDR.

  • β†’ Number of runways at KATL: 5
  • β†’ Coordinates: 33.6407, -84.4277
  • β†’ No type rating required (single pilot)

Approach Considerations

  • β†’Approach plates: Reference current Jeppesen or FAA charts before each flight. ILS, RNAV (GPS), and visual approaches typically available depending on runway. Check NOTAMs for outages.
  • β†’Wake turbulence: Stay alert for wake turbulence from preceding heavy aircraft, especially at major airports like KATL.

Common Considerations

One of the busiest airports globally by passenger traffic. Primary hub for Delta Air Lines with parallel runway operations. For the Beechcraft Baron G58, the most relevant factors are runway length sufficiency, density altitude impact at field elevation 1,026 ft, and traffic complexity at this multi-runway airport.

Fuel Availability

100LL avgas is typically available at KATL via on-field FBOs. The Beechcraft Baron G58 burns approximately 12 gph at cruise β€” verify pricing through ForeFlight or AirNav before arrival.
