01Runways
| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |
|---|---|---|---|
| 15/33 | 5,841 × 75 ft | asphalt | lit |
| 06/24 | 4,590 × 60 ft | asphalt | lit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 4,875 ft is about 5°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, 5°C) | 4,875 ft | 3,389 ft | 2,624 ft | 3,936 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 6,075 ft | 3,623 ft | 2,751 ft | 4,126 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 7,275 ft | 3,857 ft | 2,878 ft | 4,316 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 8,445 ft | 4,085 ft | 3,001 ft | 4,501 ft |

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