| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 3,373 ft is about 8°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, 8°C) | 3,373 ft | 3,096 ft | 2,466 ft | 3,699 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 4,573 ft | 3,330 ft | 2,592 ft | 3,889 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 5,773 ft | 3,564 ft | 2,719 ft | 4,079 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 6,583 ft | 3,722 ft | 2,805 ft | 4,207 ft |

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