01Runways

Runway	Length × width	Surface	Lighting
17/35	4,200 × 75 ft	concrete	lit

08/26	1,658 × 90 ft	turf	unlit

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 1,416 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)	1,416 ft	2,714 ft	2,259 ft	3,389 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	2,616 ft	2,948 ft	2,386 ft	3,579 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	3,816 ft	3,182 ft	2,513 ft	3,769 ft
35°C afternoon	4,156 ft	3,249 ft	2,548 ft	3,823 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (17/35, 4,200 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,823 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 KK61 is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.
