K1G3 · Kent State University Airport
Kent State University Airport serves Kent, Ohio at 1,134 ft elevation with its longest runway, 01/19, at 4,000 by 60 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01/19 | 4,000 × 60 ft | asphalt (good) | lit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 1,134 ft is about 13°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, 13°C) | 1,134 ft | 2,659 ft | 2,230 ft | 3,344 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 2,334 ft | 2,893 ft | 2,356 ft | 3,534 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 3,534 ft | 3,127 ft | 2,483 ft | 3,724 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 3,806 ft | 3,180 ft | 2,512 ft | 3,767 ft |
