Montrose's long 10,000-foot runway accommodates the Embraer Phenom 300; with no wingspan or weight limit here, the binding factor is density altitude at 5,759 feet, so plan on payload or fuel trims on warm days. Montrose is the long-runway gateway for Telluride-area travel. Final performance is calculated by the operating crew for the specific date, weather, and load.

Montrose Regional Airport (KMTJ/MTJ): 10,000 ft runway · 5,759 ft elevation · density-altitude weight limits. Final dispatch performance is always calculated by the operating crew for the specific flight.
Montrose's 10,000-foot runway is long enough for virtually any business jet, but at 5,759 feet the thin air reduces performance, so heavier jets often carry reduced fuel or payload, especially on warm days.
Montrose suits aircraft that meet its runway-length and density-altitude limits — see The Jet Finder's Aircraft Capability hub for specific aircraft.
