Reno-Stead Airport serves Reno, Nevada at 5,050 ft elevation with its longest runway, 14/32, at 9,000 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 5,050 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)	5,050 ft	3,423 ft	2,643 ft	3,964 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	6,250 ft	3,657 ft	2,769 ft	4,154 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	7,450 ft	3,891 ft	2,896 ft	4,344 ft
35°C afternoon	8,662 ft	4,127 ft	3,024 ft	4,536 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (14/32, 9,000 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (4,536 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 KRTS is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

KRNO Reno Tahoe International Airport	11 nm SE	11,001 ft
KTRK Truckee Tahoe Airport	24 nm SW	7,001 ft
KCXP Carson Airport	29 nm S	6,101 ft
KSPZ Silver Springs Airport	33 nm SE	6,001 ft

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KRTS

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