01Runways

Runway	Length × width	Surface	Lighting

18/36	3,403 × 150 ft	turf	unlit

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 1,695 ft is about 12°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, 12°C)	1,695 ft	2,769 ft	2,289 ft	3,433 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	2,895 ft	3,003 ft	2,415 ft	3,623 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	4,095 ft	3,237 ft	2,542 ft	3,813 ft
35°C afternoon	4,502 ft	3,316 ft	2,585 ft	3,877 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (13/31, 4,299 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,877 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
