01Runways

13/31	5,501 × 75 ft	asphalt (fair)	unlit

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 2,589 ft is about 10°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, 10°C)	2,589 ft	2,943 ft	2,383 ft	3,575 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	3,789 ft	3,177 ft	2,510 ft	3,765 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	4,989 ft	3,411 ft	2,636 ft	3,955 ft
35°C afternoon	5,610 ft	3,532 ft	2,702 ft	4,053 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (17/35, 6,824 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (4,053 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 KANW is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KANW

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