02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 775 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)	775 ft	2,589 ft	2,192 ft	3,288 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	1,975 ft	2,823 ft	2,318 ft	3,478 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	3,175 ft	3,057 ft	2,445 ft	3,667 ft
35°C afternoon	3,361 ft	3,094 ft	2,465 ft	3,697 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (05/23, 6,001 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,697 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.
