Butler Municipal Airport serves Butler, Georgia at 667 ft elevation with its longest runway, 18/36, at 4,000 by 70 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 × 70 ft | asphalt | lit |
| 06/24 | 2,405 × 180 ft | turf | unlit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 667 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) | 667 ft | 2,568 ft | 2,180 ft | 3,271 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 1,867 ft | 2,802 ft | 2,307 ft | 3,460 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 3,067 ft | 3,036 ft | 2,434 ft | 3,650 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 3,227 ft | 3,067 ft | 2,450 ft | 3,676 ft |
