02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 3,798 ft is about 7°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, 7°C)	3,798 ft	3,179 ft	2,511 ft	3,766 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	4,998 ft	3,413 ft	2,637 ft	3,956 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	6,198 ft	3,647 ft	2,764 ft	4,146 ft
35°C afternoon	7,110 ft	3,825 ft	2,860 ft	4,290 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (07/25, 4,978 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (4,290 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 KCFT is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.
