KI74 · Grimes Field
Grimes Field serves Urbana, Ohio at 1,068 ft elevation with its longest runway, 02/20, at 4,400 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.

| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 1,068 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) | 1,068 ft | 2,646 ft | 2,223 ft | 3,334 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 2,268 ft | 2,880 ft | 2,349 ft | 3,524 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 3,468 ft | 3,114 ft | 2,476 ft | 3,714 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 3,724 ft | 3,164 ft | 2,503 ft | 3,754 ft |
