01Runways
| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |
|---|---|---|---|
| 18/36 | 5,503 × 100 ft | concrete | lit |
| 08/26 | 2,502 × 75 ft | turf | unlit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 1,498 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) | 1,498 ft | 2,730 ft | 2,268 ft | 3,402 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 2,698 ft | 2,964 ft | 2,395 ft | 3,592 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 3,898 ft | 3,198 ft | 2,521 ft | 3,782 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 4,258 ft | 3,268 ft | 2,559 ft | 3,839 ft |

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