02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 3,394 ft is about 8°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, 8°C)	3,394 ft	3,100 ft	2,468 ft	3,702 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	4,594 ft	3,334 ft	2,595 ft	3,892 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	5,794 ft	3,568 ft	2,721 ft	4,082 ft
35°C afternoon	6,609 ft	3,727 ft	2,807 ft	4,211 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (12/30, 4,699 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (4,211 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 KOKS is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KOKS

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