02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 860 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)	860 ft	2,606 ft	2,201 ft	3,301 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	2,060 ft	2,840 ft	2,327 ft	3,491 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	3,260 ft	3,074 ft	2,454 ft	3,681 ft
35°C afternoon	3,466 ft	3,114 ft	2,476 ft	3,713 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (03/21, 4,986 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,713 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 KFGU is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KFGU

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