Battle Mountain Airport serves Battle Mountain, Nevada at 4,532 ft elevation with its longest runway, 04/22, at 7,300 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 4,532 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)	4,532 ft	3,322 ft	2,588 ft	3,882 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	5,732 ft	3,556 ft	2,715 ft	4,072 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	6,932 ft	3,790 ft	2,841 ft	4,262 ft
35°C afternoon	8,020 ft	4,002 ft	2,956 ft	4,434 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (04/22, 7,300 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (4,434 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 KBAM is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KBAM

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