Luce County Airport serves Newberry, Michigan at 869 ft elevation with its longest runway, 11/29, at 4,304 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
11/29	4,304 × 75 ft	asphalt	lit
04/22	2,856 × 150 ft	turf	unlit

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 869 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)	869 ft	2,607 ft	2,202 ft	3,303 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	2,069 ft	2,842 ft	2,328 ft	3,492 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	3,269 ft	3,076 ft	2,455 ft	3,682 ft
35°C afternoon	3,478 ft	3,116 ft	2,477 ft	3,715 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (11/29, 4,304 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,715 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 KERY is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KERY

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