| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 213 ft is about 15°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, 15°C) | 213 ft | 2,480 ft | 2,132 ft | 3,199 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 1,413 ft | 2,714 ft | 2,259 ft | 3,389 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 2,613 ft | 2,948 ft | 2,386 ft | 3,579 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 2,664 ft | 2,958 ft | 2,391 ft | 3,587 ft |
