02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 5,213 ft is about 5°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, 5°C) | 5,213 ft | 3,455 ft | 2,660 ft | 3,990 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 6,413 ft | 3,689 ft | 2,787 ft | 4,180 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 7,613 ft | 3,923 ft | 2,913 ft | 4,370 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 8,864 ft | 4,167 ft | 3,045 ft | 4,568 ft |

04Jet A prices and FBOs at 06U
No public API publishes FBO fuel prices, so JetDesk does not guess. Pilots and crews log the price they actually paid at 06U, 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 06U or read what a fuel stop actually saves.
