| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 91 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) | 91 ft | 2,456 ft | 2,120 ft | 3,179 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 1,291 ft | 2,690 ft | 2,246 ft | 3,369 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 2,491 ft | 2,924 ft | 2,373 ft | 3,559 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 2,513 ft | 2,928 ft | 2,375 ft | 3,563 ft |
