Brawley Municipal Airport serves Brawley, California at -128 ft elevation with its longest runway, 08/26, at 4,166 by 60 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 -128 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)	0 ft	2,438 ft	2,110 ft	3,165 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	1,072 ft	2,647 ft	2,223 ft	3,335 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	2,272 ft	2,881 ft	2,350 ft	3,525 ft
35°C afternoon	2,241 ft	2,875 ft	2,346 ft	3,520 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (08/26, 4,166 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,520 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 KBWC is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KBWC

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