02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 1,250 ft is about 12°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, 12°C)	1,250 ft	2,682 ft	2,242 ft	3,363 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	2,450 ft	2,916 ft	2,368 ft	3,553 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	3,650 ft	3,150 ft	2,495 ft	3,743 ft
35°C afternoon	3,950 ft	3,208 ft	2,527 ft	3,790 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (18/36, 4,100 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,790 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 KSKI is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KSKI

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