02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 1,364 ft is about 12°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, 12°C)	1,364 ft	2,704 ft	2,254 ft	3,381 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	2,564 ft	2,938 ft	2,381 ft	3,571 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	3,764 ft	3,172 ft	2,507 ft	3,761 ft
35°C afternoon	4,091 ft	3,236 ft	2,542 ft	3,812 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (17/35, 5,106 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,812 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.

Useful as alternates, as fuel stops when the price at 1K1 is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at 1K1

No public API publishes FBO fuel prices, so JetDesk does not guess. Pilots and crews log the price they actually paid at 1K1, 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 1K1 or read what a fuel stop actually saves.
