Rio Vista Ranch Airport serves Del Rio, Texas at 1,774 ft elevation with its longest runway, 15/33, at 4,800 by 50 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.

Private-use airfield. The FAA file marks this field private use. It is listed here for reference. Landing needs the owner's prior permission, and there may be no fuel or services. Do not plan it as a fuel stop or a routine alternate.

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 1,774 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)	1,774 ft	2,784 ft	2,297 ft	3,446 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	2,974 ft	3,018 ft	2,424 ft	3,636 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	4,174 ft	3,252 ft	2,550 ft	3,826 ft
35°C afternoon	4,600 ft	3,335 ft	2,595 ft	3,893 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (15/33, 4,800 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,893 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 TS04

There is no public FBO fuel to log at TS04. 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.
