Cushing Municipal Airport serves Cushing, Oklahoma at 916 ft elevation with its longest runway, 18/36, at 5,201 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 916 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)	916 ft	2,617 ft	2,207 ft	3,310 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	2,116 ft	2,851 ft	2,333 ft	3,500 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	3,316 ft	3,085 ft	2,460 ft	3,690 ft
35°C afternoon	3,536 ft	3,128 ft	2,483 ft	3,725 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (18/36, 5,201 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,725 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 KCUH is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KCUH

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