MacDill Air Force Base Auxiliary Field serves Avon Park, Florida at 68 ft elevation with its longest runway, 05/23, at 8,000 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 68 ft is about 15°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, 15°C)	68 ft	2,451 ft	2,117 ft	3,176 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	1,268 ft	2,685 ft	2,244 ft	3,366 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	2,468 ft	2,919 ft	2,370 ft	3,556 ft
35°C afternoon	2,484 ft	2,922 ft	2,372 ft	3,558 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (05/23, 8,000 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,558 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.

04Fuel and services at KAGR

There is no public FBO fuel to log at KAGR. JetDesk collects Jet A prices that pilots actually paid, at civil fields, and its route finder leaves military and private-use fields out of every ranking. Read what a fuel stop actually saves.
