Concord-Padgett Regional Airport serves Concord, North Carolina at 705 ft elevation with its longest runway, 02/20, at 7,402 by 100 ft. The figures below are computed from FAA NASR runway data (via OurAirports) and the same rules of thumb JetDesk uses on the airport page in the app; the POH and current NOTAMs are the authority.

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 705 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)	705 ft	2,576 ft	2,184 ft	3,277 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	1,905 ft	2,810 ft	2,311 ft	3,466 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	3,105 ft	3,044 ft	2,438 ft	3,656 ft
35°C afternoon	3,274 ft	3,077 ft	2,455 ft	3,683 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (02/20, 7,402 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,683 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 KJQF is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.
