02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 5,547 ft is about 4°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, 4°C)	5,547 ft	3,520 ft	2,695 ft	4,043 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	6,747 ft	3,754 ft	2,822 ft	4,233 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	7,947 ft	3,988 ft	2,948 ft	4,423 ft
35°C afternoon	9,278 ft	4,248 ft	3,089 ft	4,633 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (18/36, 6,902 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (4,633 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 E91 is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at E91

No public API publishes FBO fuel prices, so JetDesk does not guess. Pilots and crews log the price they actually paid at E91, 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 E91 or read what a fuel stop actually saves.
