02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 1,593 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)	1,593 ft	2,749 ft	2,278 ft	3,417 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	2,793 ft	2,983 ft	2,405 ft	3,607 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	3,993 ft	3,217 ft	2,531 ft	3,797 ft
35°C afternoon	4,375 ft	3,291 ft	2,572 ft	3,857 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (06/24, 5,001 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,857 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.
