Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport serves San Diego, California at 427 ft elevation with its longest runway, 10L/28R, at 4,598 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.

Runway	Length × width	Surface	Lighting
10L/28R	4,598 × 150 ft	asphalt	lit

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 427 ft is about 14°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, 14°C)	427 ft	2,521 ft	2,155 ft	3,233 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	1,627 ft	2,755 ft	2,282 ft	3,422 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	2,827 ft	2,989 ft	2,408 ft	3,612 ft
35°C afternoon	2,929 ft	3,009 ft	2,419 ft	3,629 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (10L/28R, 4,598 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,629 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 KMYF is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

Airport	Distance	Longest runway
KSAN San Diego International Airport	6 nm SW	9,401 ft
KSEE Gillespie Field	9 nm E	5,342 ft
KSDM Brown Field Municipal Airport	17 nm SE	7,972 ft
KRNM Ramona Airport	18 nm NE	5,001 ft

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KMYF

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