01Runways
| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10R/28L | 7,175 × 150 ft | asphalt | lit |
| 10L/28R | 3,503 × 60 ft | asphalt | lit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 257 ft is about 14°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, 14°C) | 257 ft | 2,488 ft | 2,137 ft | 3,206 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 1,457 ft | 2,722 ft | 2,264 ft | 3,396 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 2,657 ft | 2,956 ft | 2,390 ft | 3,585 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 2,719 ft | 2,968 ft | 2,397 ft | 3,595 ft |

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