Skydive Houston Airport serves Waller, Texas at 235 ft elevation with its longest runway, 17/35, at 4,190 by 50 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.

01Runways

Runway	Length × width	Surface	Lighting
17/35	4,190 × 50 ft	asphalt (poor)	unlit
N/S	3,030 × 53 ft	turf (good)	lit

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 235 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)	235 ft	2,484 ft	2,135 ft	3,202 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	1,435 ft	2,718 ft	2,261 ft	3,392 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	2,635 ft	2,952 ft	2,388 ft	3,582 ft
35°C afternoon	2,691 ft	2,963 ft	2,394 ft	3,591 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (17/35, 4,190 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.
