Kickapoo Downtown Airport serves Wichita Falls, Texas at 1,003 ft elevation with its longest runway, 17/35, at 4,450 by 75 ft.

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 1,003 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)	1,003 ft	2,634 ft	2,216 ft	3,324 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	2,203 ft	2,868 ft	2,342 ft	3,514 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	3,403 ft	3,102 ft	2,469 ft	3,704 ft
35°C afternoon	3,644 ft	3,149 ft	2,494 ft	3,742 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (17/35, 4,450 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,742 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 KCWC is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KCWC

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