01Runways

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 4,858 ft is about 5°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, 5°C)	4,858 ft	3,386 ft	2,623 ft	3,934 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	6,058 ft	3,620 ft	2,749 ft	4,124 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	7,258 ft	3,854 ft	2,876 ft	4,314 ft
35°C afternoon	8,424 ft	4,081 ft	2,999 ft	4,498 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (11/29, 9,339 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (4,498 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 KGJT is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KGJT

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