KMLU · Monroe Regional Airport
Monroe Regional Airport serves Monroe, Louisiana at 79 ft elevation with its longest runway, 04/22, at 7,504 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.

01Runways
| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |
|---|---|---|---|
| 04/22 | 7,504 × 150 ft | asphalt (PEM) | lit |
| 14/32 | 6,301 × 150 ft | asphalt | lit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 79 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) | 79 ft | 2,453 ft | 2,118 ft | 3,178 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 1,279 ft | 2,687 ft | 2,245 ft | 3,367 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 2,479 ft | 2,922 ft | 2,372 ft | 3,557 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 2,498 ft | 2,925 ft | 2,374 ft | 3,560 ft |

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