01Runways
| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |
|---|---|---|---|
| 05/23 | 5,374 × 100 ft | asphalt | lit |
| 10/28 | 3,844 × 75 ft | asphalt | unlit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 160 ft is about 15°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, 15°C) | 160 ft | 2,469 ft | 2,127 ft | 3,190 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 1,360 ft | 2,703 ft | 2,253 ft | 3,380 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 2,560 ft | 2,937 ft | 2,380 ft | 3,570 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 2,598 ft | 2,945 ft | 2,384 ft | 3,576 ft |

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