Can a Cirrus SR22 land at KMCI?

Yes -- the Cirrus SR22 typically requires ~1500 ft TOD at sea level. With KMCI's 1026 ft field elevation, expect ~1685 ft. Most KMCI runways accommodate this aircraft.

What's the fuel availability at KMCI for a Cirrus SR22?

Avgas (100LL) is typically available at KMCI via FBO services. Verify current pricing on FBO websites or ForeFlight before flight.

Runway Requirements

The Cirrus SR22 is a single engine piston aircraft (MTOW 1,542 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.

→ Number of runways at KMCI: 3
→ Coordinates: 39.2976, -94.7139
→ No type rating required (single pilot)

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 KMCI.

Common Considerations

Midwest hub in severe weather corridor with frequent thunderstorm activity. For the Cirrus SR22, 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 Cirrus SR22 burns approximately 11 gph at cruise — verify pricing through ForeFlight or AirNav before arrival.
