Powell Municipal Airport serves Powell, Wyoming at 5,092 ft elevation with its longest runway, 13/31, 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
13/31	6,200 × 100 ft	asphalt	lit
03/21	2,623 × 100 ft	turf	unlit
16/34	2,400 × 100 ft	turf	unlit

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 5,092 ft is about 5°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, 5°C)	5,092 ft	3,431 ft	2,647 ft	3,971 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	6,292 ft	3,665 ft	2,774 ft	4,161 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	7,492 ft	3,899 ft	2,900 ft	4,351 ft
35°C afternoon	8,714 ft	4,138 ft	3,029 ft	4,544 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (13/31, 6,200 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (4,544 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 KPOY is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KPOY

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