02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 262 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)	262 ft	2,489 ft	2,138 ft	3,206 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	1,462 ft	2,723 ft	2,264 ft	3,396 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	2,662 ft	2,957 ft	2,391 ft	3,586 ft
35°C afternoon	2,725 ft	2,969 ft	2,397 ft	3,596 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (05/23, 6,200 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,596 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 KJBR is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.
