02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 328 ft is about 14°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, 14°C)	328 ft	2,502 ft	2,145 ft	3,217 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	1,528 ft	2,736 ft	2,271 ft	3,407 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	2,728 ft	2,970 ft	2,398 ft	3,597 ft
35°C afternoon	2,807 ft	2,985 ft	2,406 ft	3,609 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (01/19, 5,000 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,609 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.

03Nearby fields with 5,000 ft or more

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