01Runways
| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |
|---|---|---|---|
| 16/34 | 5,756 × 100 ft | asphalt | lit |
| 05/23 | 3,000 × 60 ft | asphalt (fair) | lit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 1,355 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) | 1,355 ft | 2,702 ft | 2,253 ft | 3,379 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 2,555 ft | 2,936 ft | 2,380 ft | 3,569 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 3,755 ft | 3,170 ft | 2,506 ft | 3,759 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 4,080 ft | 3,234 ft | 2,540 ft | 3,811 ft |

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KGPZ
No public API publishes FBO fuel prices, so JetDesk does not guess. Pilots and crews log the price they actually paid at KGPZ, 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.
