02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 1,961 ft is about 11°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, 11°C)	1,961 ft	2,820 ft	2,317 ft	3,475 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	3,161 ft	3,055 ft	2,443 ft	3,665 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	4,361 ft	3,289 ft	2,570 ft	3,855 ft
35°C afternoon	4,832 ft	3,380 ft	2,620 ft	3,930 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (14/32, 6,451 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,930 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 KHSI is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KHSI

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