Flying a Cessna 310 into Baltimore/Washington 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 KBWI.

Common Considerations

Southwest Airlines focus city between Baltimore and DC with multiple precision approaches available. For the Cessna 310, the most relevant factors are runway length sufficiency, density altitude impact at field elevation 146 ft, and single-runway pattern management.

Fuel Availability

100LL avgas is typically available at KBWI via on-field FBOs. The Cessna 310 burns approximately 12 gph at cruise — verify pricing through ForeFlight or AirNav before arrival.
