01Runways
| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |
|---|---|---|---|
| 06/24 | 5,798 × 60 ft | asphalt (poor) | lit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 7,153 ft is about 1°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, 1°C) | 7,153 ft | 3,833 ft | 2,865 ft | 4,297 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 8,353 ft | 4,067 ft | 2,991 ft | 4,487 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 9,553 ft | 4,301 ft | 3,118 ft | 4,677 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 11,270 ft | 4,636 ft | 3,299 ft | 4,948 ft |

04Jet A prices and FBOs at K07V
No public API publishes FBO fuel prices, so JetDesk does not guess. Pilots and crews log the price they actually paid at K07V, 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 K07V or read what a fuel stop actually saves.
