01Runways
| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |
|---|---|---|---|
| 18/36 | 4,332 × 37 ft | asphalt | lit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 4,830 ft is about 5°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, 5°C) | 4,830 ft | 3,380 ft | 2,620 ft | 3,929 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 6,030 ft | 3,614 ft | 2,746 ft | 4,119 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 7,230 ft | 3,848 ft | 2,873 ft | 4,309 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 8,389 ft | 4,074 ft | 2,995 ft | 4,493 ft |
