02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 4,926 ft is about 5°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, 5°C) | 4,926 ft | 3,399 ft | 2,630 ft | 3,945 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 6,126 ft | 3,633 ft | 2,756 ft | 4,134 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 7,326 ft | 3,867 ft | 2,883 ft | 4,324 ft |
