01Runways
| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |

| 04/22 | 5,132 × 100 ft | asphalt | lit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 1,087 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) | 1,087 ft | 2,650 ft | 2,225 ft | 3,337 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 2,287 ft | 2,884 ft | 2,351 ft | 3,527 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 3,487 ft | 3,118 ft | 2,478 ft | 3,717 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 3,748 ft | 3,169 ft | 2,505 ft | 3,758 ft |

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KIXD
No public API publishes FBO fuel prices, so JetDesk does not guess. Pilots and crews log the price they actually paid at KIXD, 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.
