Grants-Milan Municipal Airport serves Grants, New Mexico at 6,537 ft elevation with its longest runway, 13/31, at 7,172 by 75 ft.

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 6,537 ft is about 2°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, 2°C)	6,537 ft	3,713 ft	2,800 ft	4,199 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	7,737 ft	3,947 ft	2,926 ft	4,389 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	8,937 ft	4,181 ft	3,053 ft	4,579 ft
35°C afternoon	10,506 ft	4,487 ft	3,218 ft	4,828 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (13/31, 7,172 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (4,828 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 KGNT is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KGNT

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