Can a ATR 72-600 land at KRNO?

Yes -- the ATR 72-600 typically requires ~3500 ft TOD at sea level. With KRNO's 4415 ft field elevation, expect ~5354 ft. Most KRNO runways accommodate this aircraft.

What's the fuel availability at KRNO for a ATR 72-600?

Jet A is widely available at KRNO. Several FBOs typically compete on price -- compare at major chains like Signature, Atlantic, or Million Air.

Runway Requirements

The ATR 72-600 is a turboprop aircraft (MTOW 23,000 kg). At sea level under standard conditions, expect approximately 3,500 ft takeoff distance. With KRNO field elevation of 4,415 ft, density altitude penalty pushes that to roughly 5,354 ft (a 53% increase). Always cross-reference your specific aircraft POH performance charts and current weather for actual TOD/LDR.

→ Type rating required

Approach Considerations

!High-altitude operations: KRNO field elevation exceeds 3,000 ft. Density altitude can dramatically increase landing distance and reduce climb performance. Compute pressure altitude and verify performance margins.
→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 KRNO.

Common Considerations

High-elevation airport near the Sierra Nevada with mountain wave turbulence and density altitude factors. For the ATR 72-600, the most relevant factors are runway length sufficiency, density altitude impact at field elevation 4,415 ft, and single-runway pattern management.

Fuel Availability

Jet A is universally available at KRNO. The ATR 72-600 burns approximately 1375 pph at cruise — multiple FBOs typically compete on pricing.
