Marana Regional Airport serves Marana, Arizona at 2,031 ft elevation with its longest runway, 12/30, at 6,901 by 100 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 2,031 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)	2,031 ft	2,834 ft	2,324 ft	3,486 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	3,231 ft	3,068 ft	2,451 ft	3,676 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	4,431 ft	3,302 ft	2,577 ft	3,866 ft
35°C afternoon	4,918 ft	3,397 ft	2,629 ft	3,943 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (12/30, 6,901 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,943 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 KAVQ is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

KMZJ Pinal Airpark	8 nm NW	6,849 ft
KRYN Ryan Field	16 nm S	5,500 ft
KTUS Tucson International Airport	23 nm SE	10,996 ft

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KAVQ

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