01Runways

Runway	Length × width	Surface	Lighting
07/25	5,350 × 75 ft	asphalt	lit
04/22	3,500 × 75 ft	asphalt	lit
16/34	2,399 × 190 ft	turf	unlit

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 959 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)	959 ft	2,625 ft	2,211 ft	3,317 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	2,159 ft	2,859 ft	2,338 ft	3,507 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	3,359 ft	3,093 ft	2,464 ft	3,697 ft
35°C afternoon	3,589 ft	3,138 ft	2,489 ft	3,733 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (07/25, 5,350 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,733 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.

03Nearby fields with 5,000 ft or more

Useful as alternates, as fuel stops when the price at KOEB is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KOEB

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