02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 3,224 ft is about 9°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, 9°C) | 3,224 ft | 3,067 ft | 2,450 ft | 3,675 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 4,424 ft | 3,301 ft | 2,577 ft | 3,865 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 5,624 ft | 3,535 ft | 2,703 ft | 4,055 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 6,398 ft | 3,686 ft | 2,785 ft | 4,177 ft |
