02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 1,033 ft is about 13°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, 13°C)	1,033 ft	2,639 ft	2,219 ft	3,328 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	2,233 ft	2,874 ft	2,346 ft	3,518 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	3,433 ft	3,108 ft	2,472 ft	3,708 ft
35°C afternoon	3,681 ft	3,156 ft	2,498 ft	3,748 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (17/35, 5,500 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,748 ft needed). The percentages are a generic rule of thumb applied to one reference airplane, not certified performance data for any specific aircraft, and the runway size categories describe the runway, not your airplane's suitability. Verify with the approved flight manual before every flight.

Useful as alternates, as fuel stops when the price at KBXK is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KBXK

No public API publishes FBO fuel prices, so JetDesk does not guess. Pilots and crews log the price they actually paid at KBXK, 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. Log a price at KBXK or read what a fuel stop actually saves.
