01Runways

Runway	Length × width	Surface	Lighting
18/36	5,002 × 75 ft	asphalt	lit
09/27	3,096 × 145 ft	turf	unlit

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 685 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)	685 ft	2,572 ft	2,182 ft	3,273 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	1,885 ft	2,806 ft	2,309 ft	3,463 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	3,085 ft	3,040 ft	2,435 ft	3,653 ft
35°C afternoon	3,249 ft	3,072 ft	2,453 ft	3,679 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (18/36, 5,002 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,679 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 KOXI is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KOXI

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