Majors Airport serves Greenville, Texas at 535 ft elevation with its longest runway, 17/35, at 8,030 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.

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 535 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)	535 ft	2,542 ft	2,166 ft	3,250 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	1,735 ft	2,776 ft	2,293 ft	3,440 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	2,935 ft	3,010 ft	2,420 ft	3,629 ft
35°C afternoon	3,063 ft	3,035 ft	2,433 ft	3,650 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (17/35, 8,030 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,650 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 KGVT is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.
