Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport serves Anchorage, Alaska at 152 ft elevation with its longest runway, 07R/25L, at 12,400 by 200 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.

Runway	Length × width	Surface	Lighting
07R/25L	12,400 × 200 ft	asphalt	lit

07L/25R	10,600 × 150 ft	asphalt	lit

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 152 ft is about 15°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, 15°C)	152 ft	2,468 ft	2,126 ft	3,189 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	1,352 ft	2,702 ft	2,253 ft	3,379 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	2,552 ft	2,936 ft	2,379 ft	3,569 ft
35°C afternoon	2,588 ft	2,943 ft	2,383 ft	3,575 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (07R/25L, 12,400 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,575 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 PANC is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

PAAQ Warren "Bud" Woods Palmer Municipal Airport	36 nm NE	6,006 ft
PAEN Kenai Municipal Airport	52 nm SW	7,855 ft
PASX Soldotna Airport	52 nm SW	5,001 ft

04Jet A prices and FBOs at PANC

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