Lincolnton Lincoln County Regional Airport serves Lincolnton, North Carolina at 877 ft elevation with its longest runway, 05/23, at 5,700 by 100 ft.

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 877 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)	877 ft	2,609 ft	2,203 ft	3,304 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	2,077 ft	2,843 ft	2,329 ft	3,494 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	3,277 ft	3,077 ft	2,456 ft	3,684 ft
35°C afternoon	3,487 ft	3,118 ft	2,478 ft	3,717 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (05/23, 5,700 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,717 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 KIPJ is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KIPJ

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