02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 4,365 ft is about 6°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, 6°C)	4,365 ft	3,289 ft	2,571 ft	3,856 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	5,565 ft	3,523 ft	2,697 ft	4,046 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	6,765 ft	3,757 ft	2,824 ft	4,236 ft
35°C afternoon	7,813 ft	3,962 ft	2,934 ft	4,401 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (16/34, 7,501 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (4,401 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 KGCC is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KGCC

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