01Runways
| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |
|---|---|---|---|
| 17/35 | 5,001 × 75 ft | asphalt | lit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 874 ft is about 13°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, 13°C) | 874 ft | 2,608 ft | 2,202 ft | 3,303 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 2,074 ft | 2,843 ft | 2,329 ft | 3,493 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 3,274 ft | 3,077 ft | 2,455 ft | 3,683 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 3,484 ft | 3,118 ft | 2,478 ft | 3,716 ft |

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