01Runways
| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |
|---|---|---|---|
| 04/22 | 5,780 × 50 ft | asphalt | lit |
| 08/26 | 3,960 × 45 ft | asphalt | unlit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 3,575 ft is about 8°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, 8°C) | 3,575 ft | 3,135 ft | 2,487 ft | 3,731 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 4,775 ft | 3,369 ft | 2,614 ft | 3,921 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 5,975 ft | 3,603 ft | 2,740 ft | 4,111 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 6,833 ft | 3,771 ft | 2,831 ft | 4,246 ft |
