McAllen Miller International Airport serves McAllen, Texas at 107 ft elevation with its longest runway, 13/31, at 7,120 by 150 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 107 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)	107 ft	2,459 ft	2,121 ft	3,182 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	1,307 ft	2,693 ft	2,248 ft	3,372 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	2,507 ft	2,927 ft	2,374 ft	3,562 ft
35°C afternoon	2,533 ft	2,932 ft	2,377 ft	3,566 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (13/31, 7,120 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,566 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 KMFE is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

Airport	Distance	Longest runway
KEBG South Texas International at Edinburg Airport	17 nm N	5,000 ft
KHRL Valley International Airport	32 nm E	9,400 ft
KBRO Brownsville South Padre Island International Airport	47 nm E	7,399 ft

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KMFE

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