02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 799 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)	799 ft	2,594 ft	2,194 ft	3,291 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	1,999 ft	2,828 ft	2,321 ft	3,481 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	3,199 ft	3,062 ft	2,447 ft	3,671 ft
35°C afternoon	3,391 ft	3,099 ft	2,468 ft	3,702 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (04/22, 5,506 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,702 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 KCFJ is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.
