Quitman Brooks County Airport serves Quitman, Georgia at 185 ft elevation with its longest runway, 10/28, at 5,000 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 185 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)	185 ft	2,474 ft	2,130 ft	3,194 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	1,385 ft	2,708 ft	2,256 ft	3,384 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	2,585 ft	2,942 ft	2,383 ft	3,574 ft
35°C afternoon	2,629 ft	2,951 ft	2,387 ft	3,581 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (10/28, 5,000 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,581 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.
