KCQA · Lakefield Airport
Lakefield Airport serves Celina, Ohio at 894 ft elevation with its longest runway, 08/26, at 4,400 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 08/26 | 4,400 × 75 ft | asphalt | lit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 894 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) | 894 ft | 2,612 ft | 2,204 ft | 3,306 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 2,094 ft | 2,846 ft | 2,331 ft | 3,496 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 3,294 ft | 3,080 ft | 2,458 ft | 3,686 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 3,509 ft | 3,122 ft | 2,480 ft | 3,720 ft |

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KCQA
No public API publishes FBO fuel prices, so JetDesk does not guess. Pilots and crews log the price they actually paid at KCQA, 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 KCQA or read what a fuel stop actually saves.
