Flora Municipal Airport serves Flora, Illinois at 473 ft elevation with its longest runway, 03/21, at 5,003 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.

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 473 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)	473 ft	2,530 ft	2,160 ft	3,240 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	1,673 ft	2,764 ft	2,287 ft	3,430 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	2,873 ft	2,998 ft	2,413 ft	3,620 ft
35°C afternoon	2,987 ft	3,021 ft	2,425 ft	3,638 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (03/21, 5,003 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,638 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 KFOA is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KFOA

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