02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 3,616 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)	3,616 ft	3,143 ft	2,491 ft	3,737 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	4,816 ft	3,377 ft	2,618 ft	3,927 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	6,016 ft	3,611 ft	2,745 ft	4,117 ft
35°C afternoon	6,884 ft	3,781 ft	2,836 ft	4,254 ft

Planning aid only. On a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (01/19, 4,021 ft) is within 20 percent of the 1.5x landing figure for a Meridian-class turboprop (4,254 ft). Plan hot-day departures for the morning and check the POH. 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 KLIU is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KLIU

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