01Runways
| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |
|---|---|---|---|
| 06/24 | 8,001 × 150 ft | asphalt | lit |
| 10/28 | 5,404 × 150 ft | asphalt | lit |
| 05/23 | 2,016 × 150 ft | turf | unlit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 954 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) | 954 ft | 2,624 ft | 2,211 ft | 3,316 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 2,154 ft | 2,858 ft | 2,337 ft | 3,506 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 3,354 ft | 3,092 ft | 2,464 ft | 3,696 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 3,583 ft | 3,137 ft | 2,488 ft | 3,732 ft |

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