Lexington County Airport serves Pelion, South Carolina at 452 ft elevation with its longest runway, 18/36, at 4,335 by 60 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 452 ft is about 14°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, 14°C)	452 ft	2,526 ft	2,158 ft	3,237 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	1,652 ft	2,760 ft	2,284 ft	3,426 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	2,852 ft	2,994 ft	2,411 ft	3,616 ft
35°C afternoon	2,960 ft	3,015 ft	2,422 ft	3,633 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (18/36, 4,335 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,633 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 K6J0 is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.
