02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 583 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)	583 ft	2,552 ft	2,172 ft	3,257 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	1,783 ft	2,786 ft	2,298 ft	3,447 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	2,983 ft	3,020 ft	2,425 ft	3,637 ft
35°C afternoon	3,123 ft	3,047 ft	2,439 ft	3,659 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (17/35, 6,300 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,659 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 KXNX is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KXNX

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