01Runways

Runway	Length × width	Surface	Lighting
13/31	4,400 × 75 ft	asphalt (excellent)	lit
04/22	2,485 × 155 ft	turf (good)	unlit

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 2,062 ft is about 11°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, 11°C)	2,062 ft	2,840 ft	2,328 ft	3,491 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	3,262 ft	3,074 ft	2,454 ft	3,681 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	4,462 ft	3,308 ft	2,581 ft	3,871 ft
35°C afternoon	4,957 ft	3,405 ft	2,633 ft	3,949 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (13/31, 4,400 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,949 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 K0D8 is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.
