Can a Robin DR400 land at KATL?

Yes -- the Robin DR400 typically requires ~1500 ft TOD at sea level. With KATL's 1026 ft field elevation, expect ~1685 ft. Most KATL runways accommodate this aircraft.

What's the fuel availability at KATL for a Robin DR400?

Avgas (100LL) is typically available at KATL via FBO services. Verify current pricing on FBO websites or ForeFlight before flight.

Runway Requirements

The Robin DR400 is a single engine piston aircraft (MTOW 1,100 kg). At sea level under standard conditions, expect approximately 1,500 ft takeoff distance. With KATL field elevation of 1,026 ft, density altitude penalty pushes that to roughly 1,685 ft (a 12% increase). Always cross-reference your specific aircraft POH performance charts and current weather for actual TOD/LDR.

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

Approach Considerations

→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.
→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 Robin DR400, 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 Robin DR400 burns approximately 8 gph at cruise — verify pricing through ForeFlight or AirNav before arrival.
