02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 3,991 ft is about 7°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, 7°C)	3,991 ft	3,216 ft	2,531 ft	3,797 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	5,191 ft	3,450 ft	2,658 ft	3,986 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	6,391 ft	3,685 ft	2,784 ft	4,176 ft
35°C afternoon	7,349 ft	3,871 ft	2,885 ft	4,328 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (17/35, 6,400 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (4,328 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.

03Nearby fields with 5,000 ft or more

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

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KDHT

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