01Runways

Runway	Length × width	Surface	Lighting
09/27	5,001 × 75 ft	asphalt	lit
17/35	4,841 × 120 ft	turf	unlit

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 4,444 ft is about 6°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, 6°C)	4,444 ft	3,305 ft	2,579 ft	3,868 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	5,644 ft	3,539 ft	2,705 ft	4,058 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	6,844 ft	3,773 ft	2,832 ft	4,248 ft
35°C afternoon	7,911 ft	3,981 ft	2,945 ft	4,417 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (09/27, 5,001 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (4,417 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 KHVE is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KHVE

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