02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 841 ft is about 13°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, 13°C) | 841 ft | 2,602 ft | 2,199 ft | 3,298 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 2,041 ft | 2,836 ft | 2,325 ft | 3,488 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 3,241 ft | 3,070 ft | 2,452 ft | 3,678 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 3,443 ft | 3,110 ft | 2,473 ft | 3,710 ft |

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