02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 5,733 ft is about 4°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, 4°C)	5,733 ft	3,556 ft	2,715 ft	4,072 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	6,933 ft	3,790 ft	2,841 ft	4,262 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	8,133 ft	4,024 ft	2,968 ft	4,452 ft
35°C afternoon	9,509 ft	4,293 ft	3,113 ft	4,670 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (13/31, 5,032 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (4,670 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 K1L7 is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.
