02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 1,179 ft is about 13°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, 13°C)	1,179 ft	2,668 ft	2,234 ft	3,352 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	2,379 ft	2,902 ft	2,361 ft	3,541 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	3,579 ft	3,136 ft	2,488 ft	3,731 ft
35°C afternoon	3,862 ft	3,191 ft	2,517 ft	3,776 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (07/25, 5,208 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,776 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 K3A2 is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.
