Ithaca Tompkins Regional Airport serves Ithaca, New York at 1,099 ft elevation with its longest runway, 14/32, at 6,977 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.

01Runways

Runway	Length × width	Surface	Lighting
14/32	6,977 × 150 ft	asphalt	lit
15/33	2,018 × 50 ft	turf	unlit

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 1,099 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)	1,099 ft	2,652 ft	2,226 ft	3,339 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	2,299 ft	2,886 ft	2,353 ft	3,529 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	3,499 ft	3,120 ft	2,479 ft	3,719 ft
35°C afternoon	3,763 ft	3,172 ft	2,507 ft	3,760 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (14/32, 6,977 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,760 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 KITH is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KITH

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