Covington Municipal Airport serves Covington, Tennessee at 280 ft elevation with its longest runway, 01/19, at 5,003 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.

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 280 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)	280 ft	2,493 ft	2,140 ft	3,209 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	1,480 ft	2,727 ft	2,266 ft	3,399 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	2,680 ft	2,961 ft	2,393 ft	3,589 ft
35°C afternoon	2,747 ft	2,974 ft	2,400 ft	3,600 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (01/19, 5,003 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,600 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.

Useful as alternates, as fuel stops when the price at KM04 is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KM04

No public API publishes FBO fuel prices, so JetDesk does not guess. Pilots and crews log the price they actually paid at KM04, 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.
