02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 1,176 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)	1,176 ft	2,667 ft	2,234 ft	3,351 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	2,376 ft	2,901 ft	2,361 ft	3,541 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	3,576 ft	3,135 ft	2,487 ft	3,731 ft
35°C afternoon	3,858 ft	3,190 ft	2,517 ft	3,776 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (17/35, 4,020 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,776 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 KHPT is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KHPT

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