02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 2,013 ft is about 11°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, 11°C)	2,013 ft	2,831 ft	2,322 ft	3,484 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	3,213 ft	3,065 ft	2,449 ft	3,673 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	4,413 ft	3,299 ft	2,576 ft	3,863 ft
35°C afternoon	4,896 ft	3,393 ft	2,627 ft	3,940 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (17/35, 5,399 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,940 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 KELK is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KELK

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