K15M · Iuka Airport
Iuka Airport serves Iuka, Mississippi at 630 ft elevation with its longest runway, 18/36, at 4,000 by 75 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.

01Runways
| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |
|---|---|---|---|
| 18/36 | 4,000 × 75 ft | asphalt (good) | lit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 630 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) | 630 ft | 2,561 ft | 2,176 ft | 3,265 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 1,830 ft | 2,795 ft | 2,303 ft | 3,455 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 3,030 ft | 3,029 ft | 2,430 ft | 3,644 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 3,181 ft | 3,058 ft | 2,446 ft | 3,668 ft |
03Nearby fields with 5,000 ft or more

04Jet A prices and FBOs at K15M
No public API publishes FBO fuel prices, so JetDesk does not guess. Pilots and crews log the price they actually paid at K15M, 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 K15M or read what a fuel stop actually saves.
