01Runways

Runway	Length × width	Surface	Lighting
15/33	4,500 × 75 ft	asphalt	lit
05/23	2,778 × 196 ft	turf	unlit

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 1,393 ft is about 12°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, 12°C)	1,393 ft	2,710 ft	2,257 ft	3,385 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	2,593 ft	2,944 ft	2,384 ft	3,575 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	3,793 ft	3,178 ft	2,510 ft	3,765 ft
35°C afternoon	4,127 ft	3,243 ft	2,545 ft	3,818 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (15/33, 4,500 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,818 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 KGHW is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KGHW

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