02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 1,723 ft is about 12°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, 12°C)	1,723 ft	2,774 ft	2,292 ft	3,438 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	2,923 ft	3,008 ft	2,418 ft	3,628 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	4,123 ft	3,242 ft	2,545 ft	3,817 ft
35°C afternoon	4,537 ft	3,323 ft	2,589 ft	3,883 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (07/25, 5,300 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,883 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 KJHW is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.
