Odessa Schlemeyer Field serves Odessa, Texas at 3,004 ft elevation with its longest runway, 11/29, at 6,200 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
11/29	6,200 × 100 ft	asphalt	unlit
02/20	5,703 × 75 ft	asphalt	lit
16/34	5,003 × 75 ft	asphalt	lit

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 3,004 ft is about 9°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, 9°C)	3,004 ft	3,024 ft	2,427 ft	3,640 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	4,204 ft	3,258 ft	2,554 ft	3,830 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	5,404 ft	3,492 ft	2,680 ft	4,020 ft
35°C afternoon	6,125 ft	3,633 ft	2,756 ft	4,134 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (11/29, 6,200 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (4,134 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 KODO is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KODO

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