01Runways

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 5,877 ft is about 3°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, 3°C)	5,877 ft	3,584 ft	2,730 ft	4,095 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	7,077 ft	3,818 ft	2,857 ft	4,285 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	8,277 ft	4,052 ft	2,983 ft	4,475 ft
35°C afternoon	9,687 ft	4,327 ft	3,132 ft	4,698 ft

Planning aid only. On a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (08/26, 4,300 ft) is within 20 percent of the 1.5x landing figure for a Meridian-class turboprop (4,698 ft). Plan hot-day departures for the morning and check the POH. 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 KN19 is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KN19

No public API publishes FBO fuel prices, so JetDesk does not guess. Pilots and crews log the price they actually paid at KN19, 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 KN19 or read what a fuel stop actually saves.
