02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 1,204 ft is about 13°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, 13°C)	1,204 ft	2,673 ft	2,237 ft	3,356 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	2,404 ft	2,907 ft	2,364 ft	3,545 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	3,604 ft	3,141 ft	2,490 ft	3,735 ft
35°C afternoon	3,893 ft	3,197 ft	2,521 ft	3,781 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (16/34, 5,500 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,781 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 KPMV is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KPMV

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