01Runways
| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |
|---|---|---|---|
| 18/36 | 4,005 × 75 ft | asphalt | lit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 106 ft is about 15°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, 15°C) | 106 ft | 2,459 ft | 2,121 ft | 3,182 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 1,306 ft | 2,693 ft | 2,248 ft | 3,372 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 2,506 ft | 2,927 ft | 2,374 ft | 3,562 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 2,531 ft | 2,932 ft | 2,377 ft | 3,566 ft |
