02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 254 ft is about 14°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, 14°C)	254 ft	2,488 ft	2,137 ft	3,205 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	1,454 ft	2,722 ft	2,263 ft	3,395 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	2,654 ft	2,956 ft	2,390 ft	3,585 ft
35°C afternoon	2,715 ft	2,968 ft	2,396 ft	3,595 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (18/36, 11,602 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,595 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

Useful as alternates, as fuel stops when the price at KBYH is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.
