01Runways
| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |

| 13L/31R | 7,752 × 150 ft | concrete | lit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 487 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) | 487 ft | 2,533 ft | 2,161 ft | 3,242 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 1,687 ft | 2,767 ft | 2,288 ft | 3,432 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 2,887 ft | 3,001 ft | 2,415 ft | 3,622 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 3,004 ft | 3,024 ft | 2,427 ft | 3,640 ft |
