Window Rock Airport serves Window Rock, Arizona at 6,742 ft elevation with its longest runway, 03/21, at 7,000 by 75 ft.

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 6,742 ft is about 2°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, 2°C)	6,742 ft	3,753 ft	2,821 ft	4,232 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	7,942 ft	3,987 ft	2,948 ft	4,422 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	9,142 ft	4,221 ft	3,074 ft	4,612 ft
35°C afternoon	10,760 ft	4,537 ft	3,245 ft	4,868 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (03/21, 7,000 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (4,868 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 KRQE is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KRQE

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