Somerset County Airport serves Somerset, Pennsylvania at 2,275 ft elevation with its longest runway, 7/25, at 5,002 by 75 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.

01Runways

Runway	Length × width	Surface	Lighting
7/25	5,002 × 75 ft	asphalt (good)	lit
14/32	2,729 × 150 ft	asphalt and turf (good)	unlit

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 2,275 ft is about 10°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, 10°C)	2,275 ft	2,882 ft	2,350 ft	3,525 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	3,475 ft	3,116 ft	2,477 ft	3,715 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	4,675 ft	3,350 ft	2,603 ft	3,905 ft
35°C afternoon	5,221 ft	3,456 ft	2,661 ft	3,991 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (7/25, 5,002 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,991 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 K2G9 is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.
