George R Carr Memorial Air Field serves Bogalusa, Louisiana at 119 ft elevation with its longest runway, 18/36, at 5,002 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 119 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)	119 ft	2,461 ft	2,123 ft	3,184 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	1,319 ft	2,695 ft	2,249 ft	3,374 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	2,519 ft	2,929 ft	2,376 ft	3,564 ft
35°C afternoon	2,548 ft	2,935 ft	2,379 ft	3,568 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (18/36, 5,002 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,568 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 KBXA is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.
