Runway Requirements
The Beechcraft King Air C90 is a turboprop aircraft (MTOW 4,581 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.
- β Number of runways at KLAX: 4
- β Coordinates: 33.9425, -118.4081
- β Type rating required
Approach Considerations
- βApproach 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.
- βWake turbulence: Stay alert for wake turbulence from preceding heavy aircraft, especially at major airports like KLAX.
Common Considerations
Primary airport for the greater Los Angeles area handling massive domestic and transpacific traffic volumes. For the Beechcraft King Air C90, the most relevant factors are runway length sufficiency, density altitude impact at field elevation 128 ft, and traffic complexity at this multi-runway airport.
Fuel Availability
Jet A is universally available at KLAX. The Beechcraft King Air C90 burns approximately 1360 pph at cruise β multiple FBOs typically compete on pricing.
