Wiley Post Airport serves Oklahoma City, Oklahoma at 1,300 ft elevation with its longest runway, 17L/35R, at 7,199 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.

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 1,300 ft is about 12°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, 12°C)	1,300 ft	2,692 ft	2,247 ft	3,371 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	2,500 ft	2,926 ft	2,374 ft	3,561 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	3,700 ft	3,160 ft	2,500 ft	3,751 ft
35°C afternoon	4,012 ft	3,221 ft	2,533 ft	3,800 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (17L/35R, 7,199 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,800 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 KPWA is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

KHSD Sundance Airpark	5 nm NW	5,000 ft
KOKC OKC Will Rogers World Airport	9 nm S	9,802 ft
KRCE Clarence E Page Municipal Airport	9 nm W	6,014 ft
KOUN University of Oklahoma Westheimer Airport	19 nm SE	5,200 ft

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KPWA

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