Ray S Miller Army Air Field serves Fort Ripley, Minnesota at 1,150 ft elevation with its longest runway, 13/31, at 6,100 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.

Military airfield. This is a military airfield in the FAA file. It is listed here for reference and for emergency planning. Civil use needs prior permission, there is no FBO, and no Jet A you can buy. Do not plan it as a fuel stop or a routine alternate.

01Runways

Runway	Length × width	Surface	Lighting
13/31	6,100 × 100 ft	asphalt	lit
132/312	4,000 × 90 ft	gravel	unlit

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 1,150 ft is about 13°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, 13°C)	1,150 ft	2,662 ft	2,231 ft	3,347 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	2,350 ft	2,896 ft	2,358 ft	3,537 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	3,550 ft	3,130 ft	2,485 ft	3,727 ft
35°C afternoon	3,826 ft	3,184 ft	2,514 ft	3,770 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (13/31, 6,100 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,770 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.

04Fuel and services at KRYM

There is no public FBO fuel to log at KRYM. JetDesk collects Jet A prices that pilots actually paid, at civil fields, and its route finder leaves military and private-use fields out of every ranking. Read what a fuel stop actually saves.
