02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 3,701 ft is about 8°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, 8°C)	3,701 ft	3,160 ft	2,500 ft	3,751 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	4,901 ft	3,394 ft	2,627 ft	3,941 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	6,101 ft	3,628 ft	2,754 ft	4,130 ft
35°C afternoon	6,989 ft	3,801 ft	2,847 ft	4,271 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (08/26, 4,685 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (4,271 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 KGDP is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KGDP

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