02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 195 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)	195 ft	2,476 ft	2,131 ft	3,196 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	1,395 ft	2,710 ft	2,257 ft	3,386 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	2,595 ft	2,944 ft	2,384 ft	3,576 ft
35°C afternoon	2,642 ft	2,953 ft	2,389 ft	3,583 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (11/29, 5,003 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,583 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 KRVJ

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