Camden Municipal Airport serves Camden, Alabama at 143 ft elevation with its longest runway, 18/36, at 4,303 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 143 ft is about 15°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, 15°C)	143 ft	2,466 ft	2,125 ft	3,188 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	1,343 ft	2,700 ft	2,252 ft	3,378 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	2,543 ft	2,934 ft	2,378 ft	3,567 ft
35°C afternoon	2,577 ft	2,941 ft	2,382 ft	3,573 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (18/36, 4,303 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,573 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 K61A is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.
