KOLM · Olympia Regional Airport
Olympia Regional Airport serves Olympia, Washington at 209 ft elevation with its longest runway, 17/35, at 5,500 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 17/35 | 5,500 × 150 ft | asphalt | lit |
| 08/26 | 4,157 × 150 ft | asphalt | unlit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 209 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) | 209 ft | 2,479 ft | 2,132 ft | 3,198 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 1,409 ft | 2,713 ft | 2,259 ft | 3,388 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 2,609 ft | 2,947 ft | 2,385 ft | 3,578 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 2,659 ft | 2,957 ft | 2,391 ft | 3,586 ft |
03Nearby fields with 5,000 ft or more

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