Aircraft Range

780 NM

Cruise Speed

155 kt

Runway Requirements

The Cirrus SR20 is a single engine piston aircraft (MTOW 1,383 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 KDFW: 7
→ Coordinates: 32.8998, -97.0403
→ 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 KDFW.

Common Considerations

One of the largest airports by area in the US. Major American Airlines hub with extensive domestic network. For the Cirrus SR20, the most relevant factors are runway length sufficiency, density altitude impact at field elevation 607 ft, and traffic complexity at this multi-runway airport.

Fuel Availability

100LL avgas is typically available at KDFW via on-field FBOs. The Cirrus SR20 burns approximately 9 gph at cruise — verify pricing through ForeFlight or AirNav before arrival.
