01Runways
| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |
|---|---|---|---|
| 06/24 | 4,944 × 75 ft | asphalt | lit |
| 15/33 | 2,500 × 90 ft | graded earth | unlit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 5,371 ft is about 4°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, 4°C) | 5,371 ft | 3,486 ft | 2,677 ft | 4,015 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 6,571 ft | 3,720 ft | 2,803 ft | 4,205 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 7,771 ft | 3,954 ft | 2,930 ft | 4,395 ft |
