Bibb County Airport serves Centreville, Alabama at 251 ft elevation with its longest runway, 10/28, at 4,206 by 80 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.

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 251 ft is about 14°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, 14°C)	251 ft	2,487 ft	2,136 ft	3,205 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	1,451 ft	2,721 ft	2,263 ft	3,395 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	2,651 ft	2,955 ft	2,390 ft	3,585 ft
35°C afternoon	2,711 ft	2,967 ft	2,396 ft	3,594 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (10/28, 4,206 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,594 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 K0A8 is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.
