02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 1,691 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)	1,691 ft	2,768 ft	2,288 ft	3,433 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	2,891 ft	3,002 ft	2,415 ft	3,623 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	4,091 ft	3,236 ft	2,542 ft	3,812 ft
35°C afternoon	4,497 ft	3,315 ft	2,584 ft	3,877 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (17/35, 4,400 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,877 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.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KLYO

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