01Runways
| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |
|---|---|---|---|
| 18/36 | 6,000 × 100 ft | asphalt | lit |
| 13/31 | 4,307 × 75 ft | asphalt | unlit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 845 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) | 845 ft | 2,603 ft | 2,199 ft | 3,299 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 2,045 ft | 2,837 ft | 2,326 ft | 3,489 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 3,245 ft | 3,071 ft | 2,452 ft | 3,679 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 3,448 ft | 3,110 ft | 2,474 ft | 3,711 ft |
