01Runways
| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |
|---|---|---|---|
| 09/27 | 5,540 × 75 ft | asphalt (good) | lit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 7,411 ft is about 0°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, 0°C) | 7,411 ft | 3,883 ft | 2,892 ft | 4,338 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 8,611 ft | 4,117 ft | 3,018 ft | 4,528 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 9,811 ft | 4,352 ft | 3,145 ft | 4,718 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 11,590 ft | 4,699 ft | 3,333 ft | 4,999 ft |

04Jet A prices and FBOs at K20V
No public API publishes FBO fuel prices, so JetDesk does not guess. Pilots and crews log the price they actually paid at K20V, 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.
