KH79 · Eldon Model Airpark
Eldon Model Airpark serves Eldon, Missouri at 909 ft elevation with its longest runway, 18/36, at 4,000 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 | 4,000 × 75 ft | concrete | lit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 909 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) | 909 ft | 2,615 ft | 2,206 ft | 3,309 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 2,109 ft | 2,849 ft | 2,332 ft | 3,499 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 3,309 ft | 3,083 ft | 2,459 ft | 3,689 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 3,527 ft | 3,126 ft | 2,482 ft | 3,723 ft |
