01Runways
| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |
|---|---|---|---|
| 15/33 | 11,440 × 200 ft | asphalt | lit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 192 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) | 192 ft | 2,475 ft | 2,130 ft | 3,195 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 1,392 ft | 2,709 ft | 2,257 ft | 3,385 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 2,592 ft | 2,944 ft | 2,383 ft | 3,575 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 2,638 ft | 2,953 ft | 2,388 ft | 3,582 ft |

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