Springfield Municipal Airport serves Springfield, Colorado at 4,390 ft elevation with its longest runway, 17/35, at 5,000 by 60 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 4,390 ft is about 6°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, 6°C)	4,390 ft	3,294 ft	2,573 ft	3,860 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	5,590 ft	3,528 ft	2,700 ft	4,050 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	6,790 ft	3,762 ft	2,826 ft	4,240 ft
35°C afternoon	7,844 ft	3,968 ft	2,938 ft	4,406 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (17/35, 5,000 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (4,406 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 K8V7 is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.
