Vance Air Force Base serves Enid, Oklahoma at 1,307 ft elevation with its longest runway, 17C/35C, at 9,217 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.

Military airfield. This is a military airfield in the FAA file. It is listed here for reference and for emergency planning. Civil use needs prior permission, there is no FBO, and no Jet A you can buy. Do not plan it as a fuel stop or a routine alternate.

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 1,307 ft is about 12°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, 12°C)	1,307 ft	2,693 ft	2,248 ft	3,372 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	2,507 ft	2,927 ft	2,374 ft	3,562 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	3,707 ft	3,161 ft	2,501 ft	3,752 ft
35°C afternoon	4,021 ft	3,222 ft	2,534 ft	3,801 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (17C/35C, 9,217 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,801 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.

There is no public FBO fuel to log at KEND. JetDesk collects Jet A prices that pilots actually paid, at civil fields, and its route finder leaves military and private-use fields out of every ranking. Read what a fuel stop actually saves.
