01Runways
| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |
|---|---|---|---|
| 13/31 | 6,503 × 100 ft | asphalt | lit |
| 17/35 | 5,364 × 100 ft | asphalt | lit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 651 ft is about 14°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, 14°C) | 651 ft | 2,565 ft | 2,179 ft | 3,268 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 1,851 ft | 2,799 ft | 2,305 ft | 3,458 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 3,051 ft | 3,033 ft | 2,432 ft | 3,648 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 3,207 ft | 3,063 ft | 2,448 ft | 3,673 ft |

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