KMLD · Malad City Airport
Malad City Airport serves Malad City, Idaho at 4,503 ft elevation with its longest runway, 17/35, at 4,946 by 60 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 17/35 | 4,946 × 60 ft | asphalt | lit |
| 08/26 | 3,918 × 75 ft | turf | unlit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 4,503 ft is about 6°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, 6°C) | 4,503 ft | 3,316 ft | 2,585 ft | 3,878 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 5,703 ft | 3,550 ft | 2,712 ft | 4,067 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 6,903 ft | 3,784 ft | 2,838 ft | 4,257 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 7,984 ft | 3,995 ft | 2,952 ft | 4,428 ft |

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