Grayling Army Air Field serves Grayling, Michigan at 1,158 ft elevation with its longest runway, 14/32, at 5,005 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.

Military airfield. This is a military airfield in the FAA file marked joint use. It is listed here for reference and for emergency planning. Civil use needs prior permission, there is no FBO, and no Jet A you can buy. Do not plan it as a fuel stop or a routine alternate.

01Runways

Runway	Length × width	Surface	Lighting
14/32	5,005 × 150 ft	asphalt	lit
05/23	5,000 × 150 ft	concrete	unlit

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 1,158 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)	1,158 ft	2,664 ft	2,232 ft	3,348 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	2,358 ft	2,898 ft	2,359 ft	3,538 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	3,558 ft	3,132 ft	2,485 ft	3,728 ft
35°C afternoon	3,836 ft	3,186 ft	2,515 ft	3,772 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (14/32, 5,005 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,772 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.

04Fuel and services at KGOV

There is no public FBO fuel to log at KGOV. JetDesk collects Jet A prices that pilots actually paid, at civil fields, and its route finder leaves military and private-use fields out of every ranking. Read what a fuel stop actually saves.
