02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 2,615 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.

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (12/30, 4,268 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (4,058 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.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at E01

No public API publishes FBO fuel prices, so JetDesk does not guess. Pilots and crews log the price they actually paid at E01, 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 E01 or read what a fuel stop actually saves.
