01Runways
| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |
|---|---|---|---|
| 16R/34L | 9,010 × 150 ft | asphalt | lit |
| 16L/34R | 3,004 × 75 ft | asphalt | lit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 606 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) | 606 ft | 2,556 ft | 2,174 ft | 3,261 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 1,806 ft | 2,790 ft | 2,301 ft | 3,451 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 3,006 ft | 3,024 ft | 2,427 ft | 3,641 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 3,151 ft | 3,053 ft | 2,442 ft | 3,664 ft |

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KPAE
No public API publishes FBO fuel prices, so JetDesk does not guess. Pilots and crews log the price they actually paid at KPAE, 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 KPAE or read what a fuel stop actually saves.
