Hyde County Airport serves Engelhard, North Carolina at 8 ft elevation with its longest runway, 11/29, at 5,002 by 100 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 8 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)	8 ft	2,440 ft	2,111 ft	3,166 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	1,208 ft	2,674 ft	2,237 ft	3,356 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	2,408 ft	2,908 ft	2,364 ft	3,546 ft
35°C afternoon	2,410 ft	2,908 ft	2,364 ft	3,546 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (11/29, 5,002 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,546 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.
