Pegasus Airpark serves Queen Creek, Arizona at 1,450 ft elevation with its longest runway, 08/26, at 5,124 by 80 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.

Private-use airfield. The FAA file marks this field private use. It is listed here for reference. Landing needs the owner's prior permission, and there may be no fuel or services. Do not plan it as a fuel stop or a routine alternate.

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 1,450 ft is about 12°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, 12°C)	1,450 ft	2,721 ft	2,263 ft	3,394 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	2,650 ft	2,955 ft	2,390 ft	3,584 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	3,850 ft	3,189 ft	2,516 ft	3,774 ft
35°C afternoon	4,198 ft	3,257 ft	2,553 ft	3,829 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (08/26, 5,124 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,829 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.
