02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 2,726 ft is about 10°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, 10°C)	2,726 ft	2,970 ft	2,398 ft	3,596 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	3,926 ft	3,204 ft	2,524 ft	3,786 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	5,126 ft	3,438 ft	2,651 ft	3,976 ft
35°C afternoon	5,780 ft	3,565 ft	2,720 ft	4,080 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (15/33, 5,200 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (4,080 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.

Useful as alternates, as fuel stops when the price at NV74 is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at NV74

No public API publishes FBO fuel prices, so JetDesk does not guess. Pilots and crews log the price they actually paid at NV74, 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 NV74 or read what a fuel stop actually saves.
