01Runways
| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |
|---|---|---|---|
| 14R/32L | 9,502 × 150 ft | asphalt (PEM) | lit |

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 984 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) | 984 ft | 2,630 ft | 2,214 ft | 3,321 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 2,184 ft | 2,864 ft | 2,340 ft | 3,511 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 3,384 ft | 3,098 ft | 2,467 ft | 3,701 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 3,620 ft | 3,144 ft | 2,492 ft | 3,738 ft |

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