| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |
|---|---|---|---|
| 18/36 | 4,093 × 30 ft | asphalt | lit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 2,250 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) | 2,250 ft | 2,877 ft | 2,347 ft | 3,521 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 3,450 ft | 3,111 ft | 2,474 ft | 3,711 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 4,650 ft | 3,345 ft | 2,601 ft | 3,901 ft |
