Cook County Airport serves Adel, Georgia at 236 ft elevation with its longest runway, 05/23, at 5,502 by 100 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.

Runway	Length × width	Surface	Lighting

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 236 ft is about 15°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, 15°C)	236 ft	2,484 ft	2,135 ft	3,202 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	1,436 ft	2,718 ft	2,261 ft	3,392 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	2,636 ft	2,952 ft	2,388 ft	3,582 ft
35°C afternoon	2,693 ft	2,963 ft	2,394 ft	3,591 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (05/23, 5,502 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,591 ft needed). 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.

03Nearby fields with 5,000 ft or more

Useful as alternates, as fuel stops when the price at 15J is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at 15J

No public API publishes FBO fuel prices, so JetDesk does not guess. Pilots and crews log the price they actually paid at 15J, the app flags a price stale after two weeks, and the route finder ranks every field within a corridor of your route by net savings after the cost of the extra cycle. Log a price at 15J or read what a fuel stop actually saves.
