02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 1,381 ft is about 12°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, 12°C)	1,381 ft	2,707 ft	2,256 ft	3,384 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	2,581 ft	2,941 ft	2,382 ft	3,573 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	3,781 ft	3,175 ft	2,509 ft	3,763 ft
35°C afternoon	4,112 ft	3,240 ft	2,544 ft	3,816 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (01/19, 4,400 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,816 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 KJKL is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KJKL

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