Hemet Ryan Airport serves Hemet, California at 1,512 ft elevation with its longest runway, 05/23, at 4,315 by 100 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 1,512 ft is about 12°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, 12°C)	1,512 ft	2,733 ft	2,270 ft	3,404 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	2,712 ft	2,967 ft	2,396 ft	3,594 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	3,912 ft	3,201 ft	2,523 ft	3,784 ft
35°C afternoon	4,275 ft	3,272 ft	2,561 ft	3,842 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (05/23, 4,315 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,842 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 KHMT is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

KF70 French Valley Airport	11 nm SW	6,000 ft
KSBD San Bernardino International Airport	24 nm NW	10,000 ft
KRAL Riverside Municipal Airport	25 nm NW	5,401 ft
KPSP Palm Springs International Airport	26 nm E	10,000 ft

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KHMT

No public API publishes FBO fuel prices, so JetDesk does not guess. Pilots and crews log the price they actually paid at KHMT, 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. Log a price at KHMT or read what a fuel stop actually saves.
