KM22 · Bill Pugh Field
Bill Pugh Field serves Russellville, Alabama at 723 ft elevation with its longest runway, 02/20, at 5,500 by 75 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 02/20 | 5,500 × 75 ft | asphalt (good) | lit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 723 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) | 723 ft | 2,579 ft | 2,186 ft | 3,279 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 1,923 ft | 2,813 ft | 2,313 ft | 3,469 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 3,123 ft | 3,047 ft | 2,439 ft | 3,659 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 3,297 ft | 3,081 ft | 2,458 ft | 3,687 ft |
