| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |
|---|---|---|---|
| 08/26 | 5,500 × 79 ft | asphalt (good) | lit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 248 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) | 248 ft | 2,486 ft | 2,136 ft | 3,204 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 1,448 ft | 2,720 ft | 2,263 ft | 3,394 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 2,648 ft | 2,954 ft | 2,389 ft | 3,584 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 2,708 ft | 2,966 ft | 2,396 ft | 3,594 ft |
