San Carlos Apache Airport serves Globe, Arizona at 3,261 ft elevation with its longest runway, 09/27, at 6,500 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.

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 3,261 ft is about 8°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, 8°C)	3,261 ft	3,074 ft	2,454 ft	3,681 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	4,461 ft	3,308 ft	2,581 ft	3,871 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	5,661 ft	3,542 ft	2,707 ft	4,061 ft
35°C afternoon	6,444 ft	3,695 ft	2,790 ft	4,185 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (09/27, 6,500 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (4,185 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 KP13 is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KP13

No public API publishes FBO fuel prices, so JetDesk does not guess. Pilots and crews log the price they actually paid at KP13, 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.
