Panola County Sharpe Field serves Carthage, Texas at 248 ft elevation with its longest runway, 17/35, at 4,000 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.

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

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (17/35, 4,000 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,594 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 K4F2 is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.
