Gainesville Regional Airport serves Gainesville, Florida at 152 ft elevation with its longest runway, 11/29, at 7,504 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.

01Runways
| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |
|---|---|---|---|
| 11/29 | 7,504 × 150 ft | asphalt | lit |
| 07/25 | 4,158 × 100 ft | asphalt | lit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 152 ft is about 15°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, 15°C) | 152 ft | 2,468 ft | 2,126 ft | 3,189 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 1,352 ft | 2,702 ft | 2,253 ft | 3,379 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 2,552 ft | 2,936 ft | 2,379 ft | 3,569 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 2,588 ft | 2,943 ft | 2,383 ft | 3,575 ft |
03Nearby fields with 5,000 ft or more

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KGNV
No public API publishes FBO fuel prices, so JetDesk does not guess. Pilots and crews log the price they actually paid at KGNV, 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.
