Liberal Mid-America Regional Airport serves Liberal, Kansas at 2,885 ft elevation with its longest runway, 17/35, at 7,105 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.

01Runways

Runway	Length × width	Surface	Lighting
17/35	7,105 × 100 ft	asphalt	lit
04/22	5,000 × 75 ft	concrete (fair)	unlit

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 2,885 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)	2,885 ft	3,001 ft	2,414 ft	3,622 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	4,085 ft	3,235 ft	2,541 ft	3,811 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	5,285 ft	3,469 ft	2,668 ft	4,001 ft
35°C afternoon	5,977 ft	3,604 ft	2,741 ft	4,111 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (17/35, 7,105 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (4,111 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 KLBL is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KLBL

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