01Runways

Runway	Length × width	Surface	Lighting
09/27	6,008 × 100 ft	asphalt	lit
05/23	2,267 × 175 ft	turf	unlit

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 827 ft is about 13°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, 13°C)	827 ft	2,599 ft	2,197 ft	3,296 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	2,027 ft	2,833 ft	2,324 ft	3,486 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	3,227 ft	3,067 ft	2,450 ft	3,676 ft
35°C afternoon	3,425 ft	3,106 ft	2,471 ft	3,707 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (09/27, 6,008 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,707 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 KGSH is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KGSH

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