Elton Hensley Memorial Airport serves Fulton, Missouri at 886 ft elevation with its longest runway, 18/36, at 4,001 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
18/36	4,001 × 75 ft	concrete	lit
06/24	3,203 × 60 ft	asphalt (fair)	unlit
12/30	2,488 × 100 ft	graded earth	unlit

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 886 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)	886 ft	2,611 ft	2,203 ft	3,305 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	2,086 ft	2,845 ft	2,330 ft	3,495 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	3,286 ft	3,079 ft	2,457 ft	3,685 ft
35°C afternoon	3,499 ft	3,120 ft	2,479 ft	3,719 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (18/36, 4,001 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,719 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 KFTT is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KFTT

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