02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 896 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) | 896 ft | 2,613 ft | 2,205 ft | 3,307 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 2,096 ft | 2,847 ft | 2,331 ft | 3,497 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 3,296 ft | 3,081 ft | 2,458 ft | 3,687 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 3,511 ft | 3,123 ft | 2,480 ft | 3,721 ft |

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KCVG
No public API publishes FBO fuel prices, so JetDesk does not guess. Pilots and crews log the price they actually paid at KCVG, 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 KCVG or read what a fuel stop actually saves.
