02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 2,308 ft is about 10°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, 10°C)	2,308 ft	2,888 ft	2,353 ft	3,530 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	3,508 ft	3,122 ft	2,480 ft	3,720 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	4,708 ft	3,356 ft	2,607 ft	3,910 ft
35°C afternoon	5,262 ft	3,464 ft	2,665 ft	3,998 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (17/35, 4,000 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,998 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 48K is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at 48K

No public API publishes FBO fuel prices, so JetDesk does not guess. Pilots and crews log the price they actually paid at 48K, 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 48K or read what a fuel stop actually saves.
