Runway Requirements
The Beechcraft Bonanza G36 is a single engine piston aircraft (MTOW 1,656 kg). At sea level under standard conditions, expect approximately 1,500 ft takeoff distance. With KMCI field elevation of 1,026 ft, density altitude penalty pushes that to roughly 1,685 ft (a 12% increase). Always cross-reference your specific aircraft POH performance charts and current weather for actual TOD/LDR.
- β Number of runways at KMCI: 3
- β Coordinates: 39.2976, -94.7139
- β No type rating required (single pilot)
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 KMCI.
Common Considerations
Midwest hub in severe weather corridor with frequent thunderstorm activity. For the Beechcraft Bonanza G36, the most relevant factors are runway length sufficiency, density altitude impact at field elevation 1,026 ft, and single-runway pattern management.
Fuel Availability
100LL avgas is typically available at KMCI via on-field FBOs. The Beechcraft Bonanza G36 burns approximately 11 gph at cruise β verify pricing through ForeFlight or AirNav before arrival.
