02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 3,275 ft is about 8°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, 8°C)	3,275 ft	3,077 ft	2,456 ft	3,683 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	4,475 ft	3,311 ft	2,582 ft	3,873 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	5,675 ft	3,545 ft	2,709 ft	4,063 ft
35°C afternoon	6,461 ft	3,698 ft	2,792 ft	4,187 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (13/31, 5,022 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (4,187 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 KIML is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KIML

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