Greater Binghamton/Edwin A Link field serves Binghamton, New York at 1,636 ft elevation with its longest runway, 16/34, at 7,305 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.

01Runways

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 1,636 ft is about 12°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, 12°C)	1,636 ft	2,757 ft	2,283 ft	3,424 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	2,836 ft	2,991 ft	2,409 ft	3,614 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	4,036 ft	3,225 ft	2,536 ft	3,804 ft
35°C afternoon	4,429 ft	3,302 ft	2,577 ft	3,866 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (16/34, 7,305 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,866 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 KBGM is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KBGM

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