Carroll County Regional Jack B Poage Field serves Westminster, Maryland at 789 ft elevation with its longest runway, 16/34, at 5,100 by 100 ft. The figures below are computed from FAA NASR runway data (via OurAirports) and the same rules of thumb JetDesk uses on the airport page in the app; the POH and current NOTAMs are the authority.

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 789 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)	789 ft	2,592 ft	2,193 ft	3,290 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	1,989 ft	2,826 ft	2,320 ft	3,480 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	3,189 ft	3,060 ft	2,446 ft	3,670 ft
35°C afternoon	3,378 ft	3,097 ft	2,466 ft	3,700 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (16/34, 5,100 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,700 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 KDMW is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.
