01Runways
| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |
|---|---|---|---|
| 18/36 | 4,000 × 75 ft | concrete | lit |
| 13/31 | 3,401 × 60 ft | concrete | lit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 754 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) | 754 ft | 2,585 ft | 2,190 ft | 3,284 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 1,954 ft | 2,819 ft | 2,316 ft | 3,474 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 3,154 ft | 3,053 ft | 2,443 ft | 3,664 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 3,335 ft | 3,088 ft | 2,462 ft | 3,693 ft |
