02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 3,652 ft is about 8°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, 8°C) | 3,652 ft | 3,150 ft | 2,495 ft | 3,743 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 4,852 ft | 3,384 ft | 2,622 ft | 3,933 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 6,052 ft | 3,618 ft | 2,748 ft | 4,123 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 6,928 ft | 3,789 ft | 2,841 ft | 4,261 ft |
