Runway Requirements

The Beechcraft King Air 350 is a turboprop aircraft (MTOW 6,804 kg). At sea level under standard conditions, expect approximately 3,500 ft takeoff distance. Always cross-reference your specific aircraft POH performance charts and current weather for actual TOD/LDR.

→ Number of runways at KDTW: 6
→ Coordinates: 42.2124, -83.3534
→ Type rating required

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 KDTW.

Common Considerations

Major Delta hub with extensive runway system. Frequent snow and ice operations require solid winter flying skills. For the Beechcraft King Air 350, the most relevant factors are runway length sufficiency, density altitude impact at field elevation 645 ft, and traffic complexity at this multi-runway airport.

Fuel Availability

Jet A is universally available at KDTW. The Beechcraft King Air 350 burns approximately 1560 pph at cruise — multiple FBOs typically compete on pricing.
