Edwards Af Aux North Base Airport serves Edwards, California at 2,299 ft elevation with its longest runway, 06/24, at 5,998 by 150 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.

Military airfield. This is a military airfield in the FAA file. It is listed here for reference and for emergency planning. Civil use needs prior permission, there is no FBO, and no Jet A you can buy. Do not plan it as a fuel stop or a routine alternate.

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 2,299 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)	2,299 ft	2,886 ft	2,353 ft	3,529 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	3,499 ft	3,120 ft	2,479 ft	3,719 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	4,699 ft	3,354 ft	2,606 ft	3,909 ft
35°C afternoon	5,251 ft	3,462 ft	2,664 ft	3,996 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (06/24, 5,998 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,996 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.
