01Runways
| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |
|---|---|---|---|
| 17/35 | 8,900 × 100 ft | asphalt | lit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 8,380 ft is about -2°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, -2°C) | 8,380 ft | 4,072 ft | 2,994 ft | 4,491 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 9,580 ft | 4,306 ft | 3,121 ft | 4,681 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 10,780 ft | 4,541 ft | 3,247 ft | 4,871 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 12,791 ft | 4,933 ft | 3,459 ft | 5,189 ft |

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