Flying a Piper PA-18 Super Cub into Austin-Bergstrom International Airport

Runway Requirements

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 KAUS.

Common Considerations

Fast-growing Texas airport with good weather and proximity to training facilities. For the Piper PA-18 Super Cub, the most relevant factors are runway length sufficiency, density altitude impact at field elevation 542 ft, and single-runway pattern management.

Fuel Availability

100LL avgas is typically available at KAUS via on-field FBOs. The Piper PA-18 Super Cub burns approximately 6 gph at cruise — verify pricing through ForeFlight or AirNav before arrival.
