Laguna Army Airfield serves Yuma Proving Ground(Yuma), Arizona at 433 ft elevation with its longest runway, 18/36, at 6,142 by 151 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
18/36	6,142 × 151 ft	asphalt	lit
06/24	6,043 × 100 ft	asphalt	unlit

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 433 ft is about 14°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, 14°C)	433 ft	2,522 ft	2,156 ft	3,234 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	1,633 ft	2,757 ft	2,282 ft	3,423 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	2,833 ft	2,991 ft	2,409 ft	3,613 ft
35°C afternoon	2,937 ft	3,011 ft	2,420 ft	3,630 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (18/36, 6,142 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,630 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 KLGF

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