Abilene Regional Airport serves Abilene, Texas at 1,791 ft elevation with its longest runway, 17R/35L, at 7,208 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.

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 1,791 ft is about 11°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, 11°C)	1,791 ft	2,787 ft	2,299 ft	3,448 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	2,991 ft	3,021 ft	2,426 ft	3,638 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	4,191 ft	3,255 ft	2,552 ft	3,828 ft
35°C afternoon	4,621 ft	3,339 ft	2,598 ft	3,896 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (17R/35L, 7,208 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,896 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 KABI is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

Airport	Distance	Longest runway
T23 Albany Municipal Airport	28 nm NE	5,000 ft
KSWW Avenger Field	40 nm W	5,840 ft
KBKD Stephens County Airport	44 nm NE	5,002 ft
KETN Eastland Municipal Airport	44 nm E	5,000 ft

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KABI

No public API publishes FBO fuel prices, so JetDesk does not guess. Pilots and crews log the price they actually paid at KABI, 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. Log a price at KABI or read what a fuel stop actually saves.
