02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 0 ft is about 15°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, 15°C)	0 ft	2,438 ft	2,110 ft	3,165 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	1,200 ft	2,672 ft	2,237 ft	3,355 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	2,400 ft	2,906 ft	2,363 ft	3,545 ft
35°C afternoon	2,400 ft	2,906 ft	2,363 ft	3,545 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (17/35, 5,200 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,545 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.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KPRS

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