02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 1,607 ft is about 12°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, 12°C)	1,607 ft	2,751 ft	2,280 ft	3,419 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	2,807 ft	2,985 ft	2,406 ft	3,609 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	4,007 ft	3,220 ft	2,533 ft	3,799 ft
35°C afternoon	4,393 ft	3,295 ft	2,573 ft	3,860 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (13/31, 4,198 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,860 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 K46D is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at K46D

No public API publishes FBO fuel prices, so JetDesk does not guess. Pilots and crews log the price they actually paid at K46D, 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 K46D or read what a fuel stop actually saves.
