Long Beach International Airport serves Long Beach, California at 60 ft elevation with its longest runway, 12/30, at 10,000 by 200 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
12/30	10,000 × 200 ft	asphalt	lit
08L/26R	6,192 × 150 ft	asphalt	lit
08R/26L	3,918 × 100 ft	asphalt	lit

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 60 ft is about 15°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, 15°C)	60 ft	2,450 ft	2,116 ft	3,174 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	1,260 ft	2,684 ft	2,243 ft	3,364 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	2,460 ft	2,918 ft	2,370 ft	3,554 ft
35°C afternoon	2,474 ft	2,921 ft	2,371 ft	3,557 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (12/30, 10,000 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,557 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 KLGB is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KLGB

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