KPOC · Brackett Field
Brackett Field serves La Verne, California at 1,011 ft elevation with its longest runway, 08R/26L, at 4,840 by 75 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 08R/26L | 4,840 × 75 ft | asphalt | lit |
| 08L/26R | 3,661 × 75 ft | asphalt | unlit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 1,011 ft is about 13°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, 13°C) | 1,011 ft | 2,635 ft | 2,217 ft | 3,325 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 2,211 ft | 2,869 ft | 2,343 ft | 3,515 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 3,411 ft | 3,103 ft | 2,470 ft | 3,705 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 3,654 ft | 3,151 ft | 2,495 ft | 3,743 ft |
03Nearby fields with 5,000 ft or more

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