City of Tulia-Swisher County Municipal Airport serves Tulia, Texas at 3,503 ft elevation with its longest runway, 18/36, at 4,900 by 60 ft.

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 3,503 ft is about 8°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, 8°C)	3,503 ft	3,121 ft	2,480 ft	3,719 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	4,703 ft	3,355 ft	2,606 ft	3,909 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	5,903 ft	3,589 ft	2,733 ft	4,099 ft
35°C afternoon	6,744 ft	3,753 ft	2,821 ft	4,232 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (18/36, 4,900 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (4,232 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 KI06 is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.
