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. With KMCI field elevation of 1,026 ft, density altitude penalty pushes that to roughly 3,931 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 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 KMCI.
Common Considerations
Midwest hub in severe weather corridor with frequent thunderstorm activity. For the Beechcraft King Air 350, the most relevant factors are runway length sufficiency, density altitude impact at field elevation 1,026 ft, and single-runway pattern management.
Fuel Availability
Jet A is universally available at KMCI. The Beechcraft King Air 350 burns approximately 1560 pph at cruise β multiple FBOs typically compete on pricing.
