Creech Air Force Base serves Indian Springs, Nevada at 3,133 ft elevation with its longest runway, 08/26, at 9,002 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.

01Runways

Runway	Length × width	Surface	Lighting
08/26	9,002 × 150 ft	asphalt (PEM)	lit
13/31	5,476 × 100 ft	asphalt	unlit

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 3,133 ft is about 9°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, 9°C)	3,133 ft	3,049 ft	2,441 ft	3,661 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	4,333 ft	3,283 ft	2,567 ft	3,851 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	5,533 ft	3,517 ft	2,694 ft	4,041 ft
35°C afternoon	6,285 ft	3,664 ft	2,773 ft	4,160 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (08/26, 9,002 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (4,160 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 KINS

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