02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 2,124 ft is about 11°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, 11°C)	2,124 ft	2,852 ft	2,334 ft	3,501 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	3,324 ft	3,086 ft	2,461 ft	3,691 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	4,524 ft	3,320 ft	2,587 ft	3,881 ft
35°C afternoon	5,034 ft	3,420 ft	2,641 ft	3,962 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (10/28, 5,300 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,962 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.

Useful as alternates, as fuel stops when the price at KELZ is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.
