01Runways
| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |
|---|---|---|---|
| 18/36 | 6,005 × 100 ft | concrete | lit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 966 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) | 966 ft | 2,626 ft | 2,212 ft | 3,318 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 2,166 ft | 2,860 ft | 2,339 ft | 3,508 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 3,366 ft | 3,095 ft | 2,465 ft | 3,698 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 3,598 ft | 3,140 ft | 2,490 ft | 3,734 ft |
