01Runways
| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |
|---|---|---|---|
| 18/36 | 5,008 × 100 ft | asphalt (PEM) | lit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 331 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) | 331 ft | 2,503 ft | 2,145 ft | 3,217 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 1,531 ft | 2,737 ft | 2,272 ft | 3,407 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 2,731 ft | 2,971 ft | 2,398 ft | 3,597 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 2,810 ft | 2,986 ft | 2,406 ft | 3,610 ft |

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