Fremont County Airport serves Penrose, Colorado at 5,439 ft elevation with its longest runway, 11/29, at 5,399 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
11/29	5,399 × 75 ft	asphalt (good)	lit
17/35	1,800 × 35 ft	turf (poor)	unlit

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 5,439 ft is about 4°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, 4°C)	5,439 ft	3,499 ft	2,684 ft	4,026 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	6,639 ft	3,733 ft	2,810 ft	4,216 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	7,839 ft	3,967 ft	2,937 ft	4,406 ft
35°C afternoon	9,144 ft	4,221 ft	3,075 ft	4,612 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (11/29, 5,399 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (4,612 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 K1V6 is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.
