Dewitt Field - Old Town Municipal Airport serves Old Town, Maine at 126 ft elevation with its longest runway, 17W/35W, at 8,400 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
17W/35W	8,400 × 100 ft	water	unlit
12/30	4,001 × 75 ft	asphalt	lit
04/22	2,802 × 75 ft	asphalt	lit

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 126 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)	126 ft	2,463 ft	2,123 ft	3,185 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	1,326 ft	2,697 ft	2,250 ft	3,375 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	2,526 ft	2,931 ft	2,376 ft	3,565 ft
35°C afternoon	2,556 ft	2,937 ft	2,380 ft	3,569 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (17W/35W, 8,400 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,569 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 KOLD is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KOLD

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