02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 874 ft is about 13°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, 13°C)	874 ft	2,608 ft	2,202 ft	3,303 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	2,074 ft	2,843 ft	2,329 ft	3,493 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	3,274 ft	3,077 ft	2,455 ft	3,683 ft
35°C afternoon	3,484 ft	3,118 ft	2,478 ft	3,716 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (02/20, 4,150 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,716 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 KK89 is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.
