01Runways
| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |

| 10R/28L | 9,763 × 150 ft | asphalt | lit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 2,871 ft is about 9°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, 9°C) | 2,871 ft | 2,998 ft | 2,413 ft | 3,619 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 4,071 ft | 3,232 ft | 2,539 ft | 3,809 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 5,271 ft | 3,466 ft | 2,666 ft | 3,999 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 5,960 ft | 3,600 ft | 2,739 ft | 4,108 ft |

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