01Runways
| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |
|---|---|---|---|
| 18/36 | 4,001 × 75 ft | asphalt | lit |
| 09R/27L | 3,501 × 60 ft | asphalt (excellent) | unlit |
| 09L/27R | 1,933 × 165 ft | turf (good) | unlit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 622 ft is about 14°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, 14°C) | 622 ft | 2,559 ft | 2,176 ft | 3,263 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 1,822 ft | 2,793 ft | 2,302 ft | 3,453 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 3,022 ft | 3,027 ft | 2,429 ft | 3,643 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 3,171 ft | 3,056 ft | 2,445 ft | 3,667 ft |

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