Sonora Municipal Airport serves Sonora, Texas at 2,140 ft elevation with its longest runway, 18/36, at 4,037 by 60 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 2,140 ft is about 11°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, 11°C)	2,140 ft	2,855 ft	2,336 ft	3,504 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	3,340 ft	3,089 ft	2,462 ft	3,694 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	4,540 ft	3,323 ft	2,589 ft	3,883 ft
35°C afternoon	5,054 ft	3,424 ft	2,643 ft	3,965 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (18/36, 4,037 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,965 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 KSOA is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

KJCT Kimble County Airport	46 nm E	5,004 ft
KSJT San Angelo Regional Mathis Field	47 nm N	8,054 ft

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KSOA

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