Columbia Airport serves Columbia, California at 2,118 ft elevation with its longest runway, 17/35, at 4,673 by 75 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
17/35	4,673 × 75 ft	asphalt	lit
11/29	2,607 × 50 ft	turf (good)	unlit

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 2,118 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)	2,118 ft	2,851 ft	2,333 ft	3,500 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	3,318 ft	3,085 ft	2,460 ft	3,690 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	4,518 ft	3,319 ft	2,587 ft	3,880 ft
35°C afternoon	5,026 ft	3,418 ft	2,640 ft	3,960 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (17/35, 4,673 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,960 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 O22 is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at O22

No public API publishes FBO fuel prices, so JetDesk does not guess. Pilots and crews log the price they actually paid at O22, 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 O22 or read what a fuel stop actually saves.
