01Runways
| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |
|---|---|---|---|
| 18/36 | 5,800 × 100 ft | asphalt | lit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 726 ft is about 14°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, 14°C) | 726 ft | 2,580 ft | 2,187 ft | 3,280 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 1,926 ft | 2,814 ft | 2,313 ft | 3,470 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 3,126 ft | 3,048 ft | 2,440 ft | 3,660 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 3,300 ft | 3,082 ft | 2,458 ft | 3,687 ft |

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