Crested Butte Airpark serves Crested Butte, Colorado at 8,980 ft elevation with its longest runway, 11/29, at 4,000 by 40 ft. The figures below are computed from FAA NASR runway data (via OurAirports) and the same rules of thumb JetDesk uses on the airport page in the app; the POH and current NOTAMs are the authority.

Private-use airfield. The FAA file marks this field private use. It is listed here for reference. Landing needs the owner's prior permission, and there may be no fuel or services. Do not plan it as a fuel stop or a routine alternate.

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 8,980 ft is about -3°C. Every 1,000 ft of density altitude adds roughly 8 percent to a turboprop's takeoff distance and 5 percent to its landing distance. The table uses Piper Meridian book numbers (2,438 ft takeoff and 2,110 ft landing over a 50 ft obstacle at sea level, ISA, max weight) as a reference airplane; heavier turboprops and light jets scale the same way from their own POH figures.

Conditions	Density altitude	Takeoff est.	Landing est.	Landing × 1.5
Standard day (ISA, -3°C)	8,980 ft	4,189 ft	3,057 ft	4,586 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	10,180 ft	4,424 ft	3,184 ft	4,776 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	11,380 ft	4,658 ft	3,311 ft	4,966 ft
35°C afternoon	13,535 ft	5,078 ft	3,538 ft	5,307 ft

Planning aid only. On a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (11/29, 4,000 ft) is short of the 1.5x landing figure for a Meridian-class turboprop (5,307 ft). Treat this as a cool-morning field for heavier turboprops and run the POH numbers. The percentages are a generic rule of thumb applied to one reference airplane, not certified performance data for any specific aircraft, and the runway size categories describe the runway, not your airplane's suitability. Verify with the approved flight manual before every flight.

04Fuel and services at 0CO2

There is no public FBO fuel to log at 0CO2. JetDesk collects Jet A prices that pilots actually paid, at civil fields, and its route finder leaves military and private-use fields out of every ranking. Read what a fuel stop actually saves.
