01Runways

Runway	Length × width	Surface	Lighting
18/36	8,319 × 100 ft	asphalt	lit
14/32	4,520 × 75 ft	asphalt	lit
07/25	3,631 × 75 ft	asphalt	unlit

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 5,957 ft is about 3°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, 3°C)	5,957 ft	3,600 ft	2,738 ft	4,108 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	7,157 ft	3,834 ft	2,865 ft	4,298 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	8,357 ft	4,068 ft	2,992 ft	4,487 ft
35°C afternoon	9,787 ft	4,347 ft	3,143 ft	4,714 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (18/36, 8,319 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (4,714 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 KPUC is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KPUC

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