Kodiak Airport serves Kodiak, Alaska at 78 ft elevation with its longest runway, 08/26, at 7,534 by 150 ft. The figures below are computed from FAA NASR runway data (via OurAirports) and the same rules of thumb JetDesk uses on the airport page in the app; the POH and current NOTAMs are the authority.

01Runways

Runway	Length × width	Surface	Lighting
08/26	7,534 × 150 ft	asphalt	lit
11/29	5,400 × 150 ft	asphalt	lit
01/19	5,010 × 150 ft	asphalt	lit

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 78 ft is about 15°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, 15°C)	78 ft	2,453 ft	2,118 ft	3,177 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	1,278 ft	2,687 ft	2,245 ft	3,367 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	2,478 ft	2,921 ft	2,371 ft	3,557 ft
35°C afternoon	2,497 ft	2,925 ft	2,373 ft	3,560 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (08/26, 7,534 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,560 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 PADQ is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at PADQ

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