01Runways
| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |
|---|---|---|---|
| 17/35 | 5,701 × 75 ft | asphalt | lit |
| 04/22 | 3,280 × 144 ft | turf | unlit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 2,918 ft is about 9°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, 9°C) | 2,918 ft | 3,007 ft | 2,418 ft | 3,627 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 4,118 ft | 3,241 ft | 2,544 ft | 3,817 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 5,318 ft | 3,475 ft | 2,671 ft | 4,007 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 6,018 ft | 3,612 ft | 2,745 ft | 4,117 ft |

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