02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 866 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)	866 ft	2,607 ft	2,201 ft	3,302 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	2,066 ft	2,841 ft	2,328 ft	3,492 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	3,266 ft	3,075 ft	2,455 ft	3,682 ft
35°C afternoon	3,474 ft	3,116 ft	2,477 ft	3,715 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (11/29, 5,001 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,715 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.
