Frederick Douglass Greater Rochester International Airport serves Rochester, New York at 559 ft elevation with its longest runway, 04/22, at 8,001 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
04/22	8,001 × 150 ft	asphalt	lit
10/28	6,402 × 150 ft	asphalt	lit
07/25	4,000 × 100 ft	asphalt	lit

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 559 ft is about 14°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, 14°C)	559 ft	2,547 ft	2,169 ft	3,253 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	1,759 ft	2,781 ft	2,296 ft	3,443 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	2,959 ft	3,015 ft	2,422 ft	3,633 ft
35°C afternoon	3,093 ft	3,041 ft	2,436 ft	3,654 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (04/22, 8,001 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,654 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 KROC is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KROC

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