02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 6,548 ft is about 2°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, 2°C)	6,548 ft	3,715 ft	2,801 ft	4,201 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	7,748 ft	3,949 ft	2,927 ft	4,391 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	8,948 ft	4,183 ft	3,054 ft	4,581 ft
35°C afternoon	10,520 ft	4,490 ft	3,220 ft	4,830 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (07/25, 9,000 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (4,830 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 KEGE is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KEGE

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