Flying a Robin DR400 into Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood 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 KFLL.

Common Considerations

Busy South Florida airport near multiple flight training academies with year-round VFR weather. For the Robin DR400, the most relevant factors are runway length sufficiency, density altitude impact at field elevation 9 ft, and single-runway pattern management.

Fuel Availability

100LL avgas is typically available at KFLL via on-field FBOs. The Robin DR400 burns approximately 8 gph at cruise — verify pricing through ForeFlight or AirNav before arrival.
