01Runways

Runway	Length × width	Surface	Lighting
07/25	4,607 × 75 ft	asphalt	lit
16/34	1,710 × 60 ft	turf	unlit

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 3,160 ft is about 9°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, 9°C)	3,160 ft	3,054 ft	2,443 ft	3,665 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	4,360 ft	3,288 ft	2,570 ft	3,855 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	5,560 ft	3,522 ft	2,697 ft	4,045 ft
35°C afternoon	6,318 ft	3,670 ft	2,777 ft	4,165 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (07/25, 4,607 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (4,165 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 KLTY is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KLTY

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