KMCO · Orlando International Airport
Orlando International Airport serves Orlando, Florida at 96 ft elevation with its longest runway, 18L/36R, at 12,005 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.

| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |
|---|---|---|---|

| 18R/36L | 12,004 × 200 ft | concrete | lit |
| 17R/35L | 10,000 × 150 ft | concrete | lit |
| 17L/35R | 9,001 × 150 ft | asphalt | lit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 96 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) | 96 ft | 2,457 ft | 2,120 ft | 3,180 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 1,296 ft | 2,691 ft | 2,247 ft | 3,370 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 2,496 ft | 2,925 ft | 2,373 ft | 3,560 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 2,519 ft | 2,929 ft | 2,376 ft | 3,564 ft |
03Nearby fields with 5,000 ft or more
Useful as alternates, as fuel stops when the price at KMCO is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KMCO
No public API publishes FBO fuel prices, so JetDesk does not guess. Pilots and crews log the price they actually paid at KMCO, 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 KMCO or read what a fuel stop actually saves.
