02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 410 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)	410 ft	2,518 ft	2,153 ft	3,230 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	1,610 ft	2,752 ft	2,280 ft	3,420 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	2,810 ft	2,986 ft	2,406 ft	3,610 ft
35°C afternoon	2,908 ft	3,005 ft	2,417 ft	3,625 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (04/22, 6,499 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,625 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 KPAH is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KPAH

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