01Runways
| Runway | Length × width | Surface | Lighting |
|---|---|---|---|
| 07/25 | 12,001 × 150 ft | concrete | lit |
| 071/251 | 3,354 × 60 ft | concrete | unlit |
02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins
Standard temperature at 311 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) | 311 ft | 2,499 ft | 2,143 ft | 3,214 ft |
| Warm day (ISA +10) | 1,511 ft | 2,733 ft | 2,269 ft | 3,404 ft |
| Hot day (ISA +20) | 2,711 ft | 2,967 ft | 2,396 ft | 3,594 ft |
| 35°C afternoon | 2,786 ft | 2,981 ft | 2,404 ft | 3,606 ft |
