02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 7,618 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)	7,618 ft	3,924 ft	2,914 ft	4,371 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	8,818 ft	4,158 ft	3,040 ft	4,560 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	10,018 ft	4,392 ft	3,167 ft	4,750 ft
35°C afternoon	11,846 ft	4,748 ft	3,360 ft	5,040 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (17/35, 7,500 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (5,040 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.

03Nearby fields with 5,000 ft or more

Useful as alternates, as fuel stops when the price at K24N is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at K24N

No public API publishes FBO fuel prices, so JetDesk does not guess. Pilots and crews log the price they actually paid at K24N, 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 K24N or read what a fuel stop actually saves.
