| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 1,194 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) | 1,194 ft | 2,671 ft | 2,236 ft | 3,354 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 2,394 ft | 2,905 ft | 2,363 ft | 3,544 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 3,594 ft | 3,139 ft | 2,489 ft | 3,734 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 3,881 ft | 3,195 ft | 2,519 ft | 3,779 ft |
