Brownwood Regional Airport serves Brownwood, Texas at 1,387 ft elevation with its longest runway, 17/35, at 5,599 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 1,387 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)	1,387 ft	2,709 ft	2,256 ft	3,384 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	2,587 ft	2,943 ft	2,383 ft	3,574 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	3,787 ft	3,177 ft	2,510 ft	3,764 ft
35°C afternoon	4,120 ft	3,242 ft	2,545 ft	3,817 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (17/35, 5,599 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,817 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 KBWD is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

KMNZ Hamilton Municipal Airport	42 nm E	5,012 ft

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KBWD

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