K42A · Melbourne Municipal John E Miller Field
Melbourne Municipal John E Miller Field serves Melbourne, Arkansas at 735 ft elevation with its longest runway, 03/21, at 4,003 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 03/21 | 4,003 × 75 ft | asphalt | lit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 735 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) | 735 ft | 2,581 ft | 2,188 ft | 3,281 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 1,935 ft | 2,815 ft | 2,314 ft | 3,471 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 3,135 ft | 3,049 ft | 2,441 ft | 3,661 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 3,311 ft | 3,084 ft | 2,459 ft | 3,689 ft |

04Jet A prices and FBOs at K42A
No public API publishes FBO fuel prices, so JetDesk does not guess. Pilots and crews log the price they actually paid at K42A, 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.
