Holloman Air Force Base serves Alamogordo, New Mexico at 4,093 ft elevation with its longest runway, 07/25, at 12,922 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. 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.

Runway	Length × width	Surface	Lighting
07/25	12,922 × 150 ft	asphalt (PEM)	lit

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 4,093 ft is about 7°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, 7°C)	4,093 ft	3,236 ft	2,542 ft	3,813 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	5,293 ft	3,470 ft	2,668 ft	4,003 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	6,493 ft	3,704 ft	2,795 ft	4,193 ft
35°C afternoon	7,475 ft	3,896 ft	2,899 ft	4,348 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (07/25, 12,922 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (4,348 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 KHMN

There is no public FBO fuel to log at KHMN. 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.
