Aircraft Range

415 NM

Cruise Speed

107 kt

Runway Requirements

The Cessna 152 is a single engine piston aircraft (MTOW 757 kg). At sea level under standard conditions, expect approximately 1,500 ft takeoff distance. Always cross-reference your specific aircraft POH performance charts and current weather for actual TOD/LDR.

→ Number of runways at KCVG: 4
→ Coordinates: 39.0488, -84.6678
→ 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 KCVG.

Common Considerations

Major cargo hub for DHL and Amazon Air with varied midwestern weather. For the Cessna 152, the most relevant factors are runway length sufficiency, density altitude impact at field elevation 896 ft, and traffic complexity at this multi-runway airport.

Fuel Availability

100LL avgas is typically available at KCVG via on-field FBOs. The Cessna 152 burns approximately 6 gph at cruise — verify pricing through ForeFlight or AirNav before arrival.
