Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport serves Bozeman, Montana at 4,473 ft elevation with its longest runway, 12/30, at 8,994 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.

Runway	Length × width	Surface	Lighting

11/29	5,050 × 75 ft	asphalt	lit

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 4,473 ft is about 6°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, 6°C)	4,473 ft	3,310 ft	2,582 ft	3,873 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	5,673 ft	3,544 ft	2,709 ft	4,063 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	6,873 ft	3,779 ft	2,835 ft	4,253 ft
35°C afternoon	7,947 ft	3,988 ft	2,948 ft	4,423 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (12/30, 8,994 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (4,423 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 KBZN is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KBZN

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