Runway Requirements
The Beechcraft King Air 200 is a turboprop aircraft (MTOW 5,670 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 KORD: 8
- β Coordinates: 41.9742, -87.9073
- 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 KORD.
Common Considerations
Major Midwest hub with complex runway configuration. Known for challenging winter operations and busy ATC environment. For the Beechcraft King Air 200, the most relevant factors are runway length sufficiency, density altitude impact at field elevation 672 ft, and traffic complexity at this multi-runway airport.
Fuel Availability
Jet A is universally available at KORD. The Beechcraft King Air 200 burns approximately 1445 pph at cruise β multiple FBOs typically compete on pricing.
