| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |

| 18/36 | 4,001 × 75 ft | concrete | lit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 588 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) | 588 ft | 2,553 ft | 2,172 ft | 3,258 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 1,788 ft | 2,787 ft | 2,299 ft | 3,448 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 2,988 ft | 3,021 ft | 2,425 ft | 3,638 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 3,129 ft | 3,048 ft | 2,440 ft | 3,660 ft |
