01Runways
| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |
|---|---|---|---|
| 16/34 | 5,615 × 60 ft | asphalt | lit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 3,170 ft is about 9°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, 9°C) | 3,170 ft | 3,056 ft | 2,444 ft | 3,667 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 4,370 ft | 3,290 ft | 2,571 ft | 3,857 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 5,570 ft | 3,524 ft | 2,698 ft | 4,046 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 6,331 ft | 3,673 ft | 2,778 ft | 4,167 ft |
