Arlington Municipal Airport serves Arlington, Texas at 628 ft elevation with its longest runway, 16/34, at 6,080 by 100 ft. The figures below are computed from FAA NASR runway data (via OurAirports) and the same rules of thumb JetDesk uses on the airport page in the app; the POH and current NOTAMs are the authority.

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 628 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)	628 ft	2,560 ft	2,176 ft	3,264 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	1,828 ft	2,795 ft	2,303 ft	3,454 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	3,028 ft	3,029 ft	2,429 ft	3,644 ft
35°C afternoon	3,179 ft	3,058 ft	2,445 ft	3,668 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (16/34, 6,080 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,668 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.
