KDTS · Destin Executive Airport
Destin Executive Airport serves Destin, Florida at 23 ft elevation with its longest runway, 14/32, at 5,001 by 100 ft. The figures below are computed from FAA NASR runway data (via OurAirports) and the same rules of thumb JetDesk uses on the airport page in the app; the POH and current NOTAMs are the authority.

01Runways
| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |
|---|---|---|---|
| 14/32 | 5,001 × 100 ft | asphalt | lit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 23 ft is about 15°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, 15°C) | 23 ft | 2,442 ft | 2,112 ft | 3,169 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 1,223 ft | 2,677 ft | 2,239 ft | 3,359 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 2,423 ft | 2,911 ft | 2,366 ft | 3,548 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 2,429 ft | 2,912 ft | 2,366 ft | 3,549 ft |
03Nearby fields with 5,000 ft or more

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