Burlington Municipal Airport serves Burlington, Wisconsin at 779 ft elevation with its longest runway, 11/29, at 4,300 by 75 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

Runway	Length × width	Surface	Lighting
11/29	4,300 × 75 ft	asphalt	lit
01/19	2,410 × 130 ft	turf	unlit

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 779 ft is about 13°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, 13°C)	779 ft	2,590 ft	2,192 ft	3,288 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	1,979 ft	2,824 ft	2,319 ft	3,478 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	3,179 ft	3,058 ft	2,445 ft	3,668 ft
35°C afternoon	3,366 ft	3,095 ft	2,465 ft	3,698 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (11/29, 4,300 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,698 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 KBUU is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KBUU

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