Mount Pleasant Municipal Airport serves Mount Pleasant, Michigan at 755 ft elevation with its longest runway, 09/27, at 5,000 by 100 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
09/27	5,000 × 100 ft	asphalt	lit
05/23	2,502 × 160 ft	turf	unlit

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 755 ft is about 13°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, 13°C)	755 ft	2,585 ft	2,190 ft	3,284 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	1,955 ft	2,819 ft	2,316 ft	3,474 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	3,155 ft	3,053 ft	2,443 ft	3,664 ft
35°C afternoon	3,336 ft	3,089 ft	2,462 ft	3,693 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (09/27, 5,000 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,693 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 KMOP is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KMOP

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