Columbia County Airport serves Hudson, New York at 198 ft elevation with its longest runway, 03/21, at 5,350 by 100 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.

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 198 ft is about 15°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, 15°C)	198 ft	2,477 ft	2,131 ft	3,196 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	1,398 ft	2,711 ft	2,257 ft	3,386 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	2,598 ft	2,945 ft	2,384 ft	3,576 ft
35°C afternoon	2,646 ft	2,954 ft	2,389 ft	3,584 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (03/21, 5,350 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,584 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 K1B1 is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.
