KDKR · Houston County Airport
Houston County Airport serves Crockett, Texas at 348 ft elevation with its longest runway, 02/20, at 4,000 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 02/20 | 4,000 × 75 ft | asphalt | lit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 348 ft is about 14°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, 14°C) | 348 ft | 2,506 ft | 2,147 ft | 3,220 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 1,548 ft | 2,740 ft | 2,273 ft | 3,410 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 2,748 ft | 2,974 ft | 2,400 ft | 3,600 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 2,832 ft | 2,990 ft | 2,409 ft | 3,613 ft |

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KDKR
No public API publishes FBO fuel prices, so JetDesk does not guess. Pilots and crews log the price they actually paid at KDKR, 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.
