Terrell County Airport serves Dryden, Texas at 2,322 ft elevation with its longest runway, 13/31, at 4,526 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.

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 2,322 ft is about 10°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, 10°C)	2,322 ft	2,891 ft	2,355 ft	3,532 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	3,522 ft	3,125 ft	2,482 ft	3,722 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	4,722 ft	3,359 ft	2,608 ft	3,912 ft
35°C afternoon	5,279 ft	3,468 ft	2,667 ft	4,000 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (13/31, 4,526 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (4,000 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 K6R6 is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

No public API publishes FBO fuel prices, so JetDesk does not guess. Pilots and crews log the price they actually paid at K6R6, 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.
