02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 5,153 ft is about 5°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, 5°C)	5,153 ft	3,443 ft	2,654 ft	3,980 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	6,353 ft	3,677 ft	2,780 ft	4,170 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	7,553 ft	3,911 ft	2,907 ft	4,360 ft
35°C afternoon	8,790 ft	4,152 ft	3,037 ft	4,556 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (01/19, 6,288 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (4,556 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.
